⏱ Time

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 35–40 minutes

Total Time: 45–50 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, finely sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

4 oz (115g) chorizo, sliced (substitute: turkey sausage for a non-pork option)

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp dried oregano

14 oz (400g) can chopped tomatoes

1/2 cup (120ml) chicken stock

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the sliced onion, garlic, and chorizo (or turkey sausage). Cook for 5 minutes until the onion is soft and the chorizo is slightly crispy.

Add the sliced bell peppers, smoked paprika, and oregano to the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Pour in the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
