A flavorful and easy-to-make one-pot chicken and rice dish with Mediterranean-inspired ingredients.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the chicken thighs and brown on both sides for about 5 minutes.
Don't overcrowd the pot to allow even browning.
Add the chorizo sausage slices and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Stir occasionally to release the flavors of the chorizo.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Cook until the onions are translucent for the best flavor.
Stir in the rice and smoked paprika, cooking for 2 minutes to coat the rice in the oil and spices.
Toasting the rice enhances its flavor and texture.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for 25 minutes.
Check occasionally to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom.
Add the cherry tomatoes, black olives, and fresh thyme, stirring gently to combine.
Adding these ingredients at the end preserves their fresh flavors.
Serve the dish hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
Pair with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
