Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the red bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Slice the chorizo sausage.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the red bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Chorizo and Tomatoes

    Add the sliced chorizo to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes until it starts to release its oils. Add the canned tomatoes and paprika, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Combine and Cook

    Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish before serving. Enjoy your Castelão!
