GH TIPS:
Not a fan of chorizo? Feel free to omit it completely.
Don't want to make your own salsa verde? Skip this step completely and use shop-bought, or why not try it with shop-bought green pesto for a similar taste?
You can also opt boneless chicken thighs if you prefer, just adjust your cooking time slightly by less.
