Chicken and Chorizo Bake

I absolutely love this recipe, no cooking oils required; the meat will cook in the juices from the tomatoes and the chorizo. Even though chorizo is high in calories and fat this is a perfect lunch recipe you can split down over a week, therefore serving of chorizo is not so bad J

Also adding some sweet potato is optional, I choose not to as one I can’t eat it and two I try not to mix carbs and fats. But it won’t hurt if you add it in.
