Provided by Lauren Aloise

Categories     Main

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 bone-in chicken thighs
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb semi-cured chorizo, sliced into roughly 1/2-inch pieces (if you can't find semi cured, use fresh) (about 450g )
1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)
2 red bell peppers (seeds removed and thinly sliced)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
4 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 bay leaves
1 cup dry sherry (or any other dry white wine)
2 cups chicken stock
2 cans of tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup green olives (pits removed (you can keep whole or cut into slices -- I prefer the latter!))

Steps:

  • Season the chicken thighs liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Place a large dutch oven (or heavy pan) over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, sear the chicken on all sides until brown (in batches if necessary), about 7-8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Return the dutch oven to medium-high heat and add the chorizo. Sear for about 2-3 minutes, until the chorizo is brown and releasing its fat to the pan. Add the onion and bell peppers and saute until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  • Next, add the garlic, thyme, paprika, cumin, and bay leaves. When aromatic (about a minute), add the dry wine and stir to remove anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • When the wine has reduced by half, add the chicken stock, tomatoes, and tomato paste to the pan. Stir to combine and then return the chicken to the pan.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover the dutch oven and leave to cook for 50 minutes and until the chicken is cooked through.
  • If the sauce is still thin after this time, remove the chicken and increase the heat to medium-high so that the sauce can further reduce.
  • Add in the sliced olives, along with the chicken and chorizo (if you removed it). Make sure everything is heated through and serve with rice, potatoes, bread, or salad.

  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level: The stew is moderately spicy, but you can easily adjust the spice level to your liking. If you want a milder stew, use less chorizo or omit the cayenne pepper. If you want a spicier stew, add more chorizo or cayenne pepper, or even a diced jalapeño.
  • Brown the chorizo before adding it to the stew: This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and texture to the stew. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
