Best 6 Spanish Chicken With Peppers Recipes

SPANISH CHICKEN AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C.
• Add the olive oil to a large, oven-safe skillet/pan and warm over a medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook 2 minutes, then transfer to another dish using a slotted spoon.
• Add the onions and red peppers to the skillet/pan and cook for about 8 minutes stirring every so often. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic and paprika to the onion mixture and cook another 2 minutes, then transfer the onion mixture to the dish with the chorizo.
• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper then add the chicken thighs to the skillet/pan, skin side down and cook 7-10 minutes to sear the skin. Once the skin has turned golden brown, flip over and cook another 7 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the skillet/pan and set aside.
• Pour the oil remaining in the pan out then return it to the heat. Add the red wine, stock and bay leaf. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any sticky bits.
• Add the chorizo and onion mixture back to the pan along with thyme, turn the heat up high and bring the mixture to a light boil then reduce the temperature to maintain a simmer. Let simmer 10 minutes to reduce the liquids.
• Add the chicken back to the pan, skin-side up. Transfer to the oven and let cook uncovered for 12-15 minutes until the chicken has fully cooked through (internal temperature should be at least 165°F/74°C).
• Remove from the oven, season with additional salt, pepper and thyme if needed and enjoy.

ONE PAN SPANISH CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPE (ARROZ CON POLLO)

Steps:

• Soak the rice in water. Rinse the rice well and place it in a bowl. Cover the rice with water and allow it to soak for 15 minutes while you work on other things. You should be able to break a grain of rice easily. Drain well.
• Make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the spices, salt and pepper.
• Season the chicken. Pat the chicken dry and season with the spice rub, be sure to lift the chicken skins and apply some of the spice rub underneath (this is important for flavor).
• Brown the chicken on both sides. In a 5-quart braiser pan (or a large deep skillet with a cover), heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Carefully add the chicken and brown deeply on both sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate for now.
• Cook chorizo and vegetables. In the same pan, add the chorizo. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly until the chorizo has nicely browned. Add the green peppers, onions, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes.
• Cook the chicken. Now add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Add the browned chicken back to the pan. Raise the heat to bring the liquid to a boil, then lower to medium and cover. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the rice and cook the rice with the chicken. Uncover the pan and remove the chicken briefly (set on a dish near the stove for now). Stir the drained rice into the cooking liquid. Cook uncovered over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken back on top of the rice. Turn the heat to low, cover the pan again and cook the rice and chicken together for another 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.
• Let the chicken and rice rest in the pan. Turn the heat off, but leave the pan covered and undisturbed for 10 more minutes. Serve hot.
