2 tablespoons olive oil
8 skinned and boneless chicken thighs
150 g spicy chorizo sausage, peeled and cut into slices
1 large Spanish onion, peeled and roughly diced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely diced
2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into strips
200 g long-grain white rice, rinsed under cold water
450 ml chicken stock
1 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
2 tablespoons pitted black olives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken and rice will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space for the chicken and rice to spread out in a single layer.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: Let the rice rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb all of the delicious flavors from the chicken and vegetables.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Garnish the dish with fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
