Instructions
- 1
Boil pasta in a pot of water following the package instructions.

When the chicken is almost cooked through, add diced sun dried tomatoes, garlic and chorizo. Sauté for another minute, or until fragrant.

Add the chorizo and chicken sauce to the pasta, and stir to combine thoroughly.
