Chorizo chili spice, similar to that used to make the famed Spanish chorizo sausage, is sprinkled over chicken breasts for a warming flavor. We've made a take on broccoli queso fundido (or a dish made with melted cheese), which includes cheddar-jack cheese, broccoli's best pal. Serve this dish right away so the cheese stays ooey gooey and the toasted bread is warm and crusty.

Serves: 2

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

½ broccoli
1 shallot
¼ oz of chorizo chili spice blend
2 oz of shredded cheddar-jack blend
10 oz of pkg boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 ciabatta rolls
olive oil
kosher salt
garlic

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425°F with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Cut broccoli into long, thin florets, if necessary. Finely chop half of the shallot. Finely chop 1 large garlic clove; set 1 whole large garlic clove aside for step 5.
Heat ¼ cup water in medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add broccoli; cover and cook until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a plate, then pour off any water from skillet. Heat chopped garlic, ¾ of the chopped shallots, and 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high. Cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Stir 1 teaspoon chorizo chili spice blend into skillet with garlic and onions. Return broccoli to skillet and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt. Transfer broccoli mixture to a medium baking dish and top with shredded cheddar-jack cheese. Bake on upper rack until browned and bubbling, 18-20 minutes (watch closely as ovens vary). Wipe out skillet.
Pat chicken dry and season all over with remaining chili chorizo spice and salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook until browned, undisturbed, about 4 minutes. Flip chicken, then transfer skillet to lower oven rack. Roast until chicken is cooked through, 3-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut each ciabatta roll into thick slices and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast on upper oven rack until crusty, about 5 minutes (watch closely). Rub cut sides of toasted bread with reserved whole garlic clove, then drizzle with oil.
Slice chicken, if desired, and transfer to plates. Spoon any pan drippings over top. Sprinkle remaining chopped shallots over broccoli and serve alongside chicken with baguette slices. Enjoy!
