Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the bell peppers and onion, and mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken and Sausage

    Cut the chorizo sausage into slices and trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Ingredients

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and sauté until browned, about 5 minutes.

    Add Chicken to the Pot

    Add the chicken thighs to the pot and cook until they are lightly browned, about 5 minutes on each side.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Vegetables

    Add the diced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Pour in the canned tomatoes, along with smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir well.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30-35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
