How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Heat the oil in a large heatproof saucepan over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides, working in batches if necessary, until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the onion and pepper, and cook for 10 minutes until they are softened and fragrant. Stir in the garlic and chorizo, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the chorizo releases its oils and becomes aromatic.
- Return the chicken to the pan, add the tomato puree, thyme, white wine, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Stir in the rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, let it sit covered for 10 minutes to finish absorbing any remaining liquid. Season to taste and garnish with parsley before serving.
