This rustic dish brings the vibrant flavors of Spain to your kitchen using just one pan for easy cleanup. Smoky chorizo oils infuse the tender chicken thighs, while sweet red peppers and salty olives create a rich, savory sauce perfect for crusty bread.
Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove to a plate.
In the same pan, add the sliced chorizo and cook for 2 minutes until it releases its red oil.
Add the sliced onion and red bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened, stirring to coat in the chorizo oil.
Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for just 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Nestle the chicken thighs back into the sauce, skin-side up. Lower the heat to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
Stir in the green olives and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
