This vibrant one-pot meal captures the essence of Spanish home cooking with minimal cleanup. Juicy chicken thighs are braised alongside smoky chorizo, tender potatoes, and briny olives in a rich tomato-based sauce, creating a hearty dinner perfect for busy weeknights.
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down in the hot pan and cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan (leaving the chicken fat rendered), add the sliced chorizo and cook for 2-3 minutes until it releases its red oil.
Add the onion wedges and potatoes to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions soften slightly.
Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the chicken thighs to the pan, nestling them into the sauce skin-side up. Scatter the olives around the chicken.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the lid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot.
