Remove the chorizo and vegetable mixture from the pan.

Add a little bacon grease back to the pan and add the seasoned chicken in a single layer, cooking for about 5 to 8 minutes until fully cooked.

Check the chicken for doneness and adjust salt if necessary.

Return the vegetable mixture to the pan, add chopped cilantro, and mix everything together.
