  1. Throughly wash and dry the chicken breasts 2. Cut a slit in the
  thickest part to put in the chorizo sausage. Divide the sausage among
  the breasts. 3.  Heat oil in a large Dutch oven until hot, put in the
  stuffed chicken breasts, (you can keep them together with toothpicks)
  and brown on all sides.  About 10 min.? drain fat. 4. Add all of the
  remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling, reduce heat, cover and simmer
  until chicken is tender. 5. Remove bay leaves.  Arrange the chicken
  breasts  on a large platter and serve with  the remaining sauce.  I'd
  serve with rice or hot cooked black beans. Now for homemade Chorizo!
