1. Season chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
2. In a heavy Dutch oven or braising pot over medium heat, brown sliced Spanish chorizo for 5 minutes until it releases its vibrant red oil, then remove and set aside.
3. In the rendered chorizo oil, sear chicken thighs skin-side down for 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and brown other side.
4. Remove chicken and sauté diced onion, sliced bell peppers, and minced garlic for 5 minutes.
5. Stir in crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and smoked paprika, bringing to a simmer.
6. Return chicken thighs and cooked chorizo to the pot, nestling them into the tomato sauce.
7. Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes until chicken is tender and cooked through.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm with crusty bread.
Use Spanish Chorizo: Cured Spanish chorizo releases smoky paprika oil that forms the flavor base of this braising sauce. Sear Chicken Skin: Browning skin first adds rich savory depth to the one-pot dish. Simmer on Low: Gentle simmering keeps chicken thighs juicy and tender.
Spanish chorizo is cured and holds its shape in braises, whereas Mexican chorizo is raw and crumbles.
