Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 6 chicken thighs bone-in and skin-on
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika plus more, to taste
- 8 ounces ground chorizo
- 1 onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 4 cloves garlic sliced
- 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup green olives
- 1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas drained
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 10 sprigs fresh thyme
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In an oven-safe skillet over medium high heat, add the oil.
- Evenly season the chicken thighs all over with the salt, the pepper, and the extra paprika.
- Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the hot oil and fry until they are golden-brown all over, about 6-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate.
- In the same skillet, add the chorizo and cook, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the onions, the red bell peppers, and the garlic to the ground chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies have softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes and their juices, the olives, the chickpeas, the raisins, the thyme, the remaining 1 teaspoon of the paprika, the salt, and the pepper to the chorizo mixture and stir until it is well-combined. Cook, about 5 minutes.
- Nestle the cooked chicken thighs skin-side up into the chorizo mixture.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken mixture until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature between 185-190 degrees F, about 1 hour.
- Serve immediately.
