Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 150 grams chorizo sausage (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 teaspoons paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 teaspoons ground cumin
- 300 grams cherry tomatoes
- 500 milliliters chicken stock
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or casserole dish over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced chorizo sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until it releases its oils and turns slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, followed by the sliced onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, smoked paprika, and ground cumin to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the chorizo to the skillet, then add the cherry tomatoes and stir. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
Nestle the chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up, and scatter the baby potatoes around them.
Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
Uncover the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Check and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, straight from the pot. Enjoy!
