Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pot or pan over a medium heat and then add the chicken pieces and brown for 2 to 3 minutes, before adding the chorizo sausage and sautéing for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the onions, garlic and red pepper, and sauté for a few minutes until the chorizo sausage releases red oil and the vegetables have softened slightly.
- Add the rice and mix thoroughly and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to coat it all in oil.
- Add the stock and smoked paprika, and place a lid on the pot/pan. Simmer over a very low heat, with the lid on, for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked and tender and the rice is soft and has absorbed all the liquid.
- Adjust the seasoning and gently fluff up the rice and mix all the vegetables and chicken through, before adding the olives and the chopped thyme.
- Serve immediately, setting the pot/pan on the table, with crusty bread and salad if liked.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your dish. Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts, and use a flavorful rice like basmati or jasmine.
- 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.
