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.
