I love the classic combination of chorizo and potatoes. But when paired with cream, wine, leeks and chicken — now that’s taking things to a whole new level. Needless to say, this creamy chicken dish is my definition of a perfect meal.

Before you start cooking, I have two tips to keep in mind. I’m calling for Spanish chorizo here because I love the smokiness of pimenton — it pairs wonderfully with the leeks and chicken.

Instead, they should be fork-tender but hold their shape.
