Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
Smoked sweet paprika or paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 to 1/3 pound chunk Spanish chorizo, casing removed and crumbled or chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 chipotle pepper in adobo, seeded and finely chopped, plus a tablespoon adobo sauce
1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock
Tortillas or bread, for mopping
2 slightly under-ripe avocados
2 limes or 1 large ripe lemon, juiced
Salt
1 small red or green chile pepper, seeded and very thinly sliced
1 vine-ripe tomato, seeded and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 small red onion, chopped or thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Season chicken with paprika and salt and pepper, to taste. Heat the extra-virgin olive oil, a couple of turns of the pan, in a Dutch oven or large high-sided skillet with a lid. Add the chicken and brown on all sides. Remove the chicken to a plate and spoon off the excess fat. Add the chorizo and brown a couple of minutes, then remove it to a plate. Stir in the carrots, onions, garlic, thyme and chipotle, and cover the pot. Reduce heat a bit, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and bring to a bubble, then add the chicken and the chorizo back to the pot and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes more to cook through. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator for a make-ahead meal.
  • To reheat, add 1 cup of stock to the chicken in a Dutch oven and cover with a lid. Cook over medium heat, until the sauce bubbles, then gently stir and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  • Heat the tortillas or bread and set aside.
  • Halve and gently dice the avocados into large chunks. Add them to a small bowl and douse with the lime juice. Season with salt, to taste, and lightly mash.
  • Arrange the chicken in shallow bowls topped with sauce and a mound of avocado, tomatoes, parsley and onions. Serve with tortillas or bread, for mopping.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to the chicken.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and overcooked. The guacamole was also bland.
