Notes
For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken strips in spices for 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the spiciness by choosing a milder or spicier chorizo according to your preference. If you want a lighter version, you can replace the crème fraîche with Greek yogurt or a lighter cream. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
