Okay here is my recipe; for the Hispanically challenged the title simply means chicken with chorizo (sausage). The recipe is so simple that quantities may be easily adjusted, but below is what feeds four people:

Chicken Breasts 3 lbs. boneless/skinless
Chorizo 2 lbs. cooked(Mexican breakfast sausage from Kroger’s, Walmart, Meijers, etc.)
Seasonings (your preferance)
Shredded Cheese 4 cups

Season your chicken breasts as you would in preparation for grilling (season salt, Tony Chachere’s, Emeril’s BAM). Next grill up the breasts just as you would for a cookout. After chicken is cooked on grill place chicken in a casserole dish. Top breasts with cooked Chorizo sausage and sprinkle on your shredded cheese; I like mozzarella but the wife likes to use 4 cheese. Nuke the contents of the casserole dish until the cheese melts on top. The contrast of the flavors in the chorizo and chicken is amazing! Enjoy.

Also for anyone that is not familiar with chorizo, it is sold in tubes like this:

Chorizo with egg is a weekend morning staple around here. If there is no chorizo around, breakfast might be megas (shredded corn tortilla fried up w/scrambled egg).

We get ours from one of the local Mexican stores; I used the Johnsonville pic because of name familiarity to some who may not know what it is. My mother-in-law had her own tamale shop, but also made barbacoa, mole, menudo, etc. I like most of the dishes, but never could stomach stuff like menudo.

I might give that a try, I know I quit eating real chorizo years ago, after reading the
ingredients.  Lymph Nodes & salivary glands aren’t a part of  my breakfast any longer

What do you mean?  Chorizo is basically pork, vinegar, and spices.  If it is a dried version it might have sodium nitrite as well.

There are several types of Chorizo such a Mexican, Portuguese, Spanish. When I buy Chorizo in the store I look for labels that simply say pork rather than cheeks and salivary glands. My father-in-law makes his chorizo with the glands and cheeks but my wife’s recipe simply uses pork. The fatty parts impart more flavor; there are beef, chicken,soy and vegan versions of the sausage as well. Conversely, when my father in law makes tamales he uses head cheese and pork roast, but my wife and many local purveyors use only the pork roast. True to tradition Mexican food uses as much of the animal as possible to avoid waste; a necessity in impoverished areas.

Ah.  My advice: make your own, it’s really easy.  Still, even if it is unspecified pork parts, once in a while a few innards won’t do too much harm.  (I hope.)

In some cultures, innards are considered the most ‘potent’ part of the animal and are reserved for those of the highest station.
