Directions

Ingredients

  • 2 1⁄2 pounds Chicken Thigh, bone-in, skin-on
  • 3⁄4 pound Chorizo, Spanish (smoked and dried), cut into 1"-thick slices
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Kosher Salt

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the chicken, skin side down, and cook, without turning, until the skin is a deep golden brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. (Pour off and discard any accumulated fat and juices.) Add the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chorizo to a plate, leaving the fat behind in the dutch oven. Set chorizo aside.

Ingredients

  • 3 Chicken Broth
  • 3 Roasted Red Peppers, peeled, seeded, and cut into thick strips
  • 1⁄2 cup White Wine, undrunk
  • 1 1⁄2 Long Grain Brown Rice, rinsed
  • 1 Fresh Bay Leaf
  • 1 large Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, crushed
  • 1⁄2 Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Oregano, roughly chopped

Step 2

Add oregano, red pepper, garlic, onion, and bay leaf to the dutch oven and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is lightly browned and somewhat soft, about 8 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until surface is glossy, about 2 minutes. Add wine, bring to a boil while stirring often, and reduce by half, about 1 minute. Nestle chicken, chorizo, and peppers into rice mixture. Pour in broth and season liquid to taste with salt and pepper. Cover the dutch oven and bring to a boil over high heat. Transfer to the oven and bake until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Frozen Peas

Step 3

Remove the dish from oven, uncover, and gently stir in the peas with a fork. Let sit for 10 minutes, covered, to allow the flavors to meld.
