    Title: Pan Fried Chicken & Chorizo Rice
    Categories: Poultry, Rice, Pork, Herbs, Vegetables
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil
    1 md Onion; chopped
    2 cl Garlic; minced
    1 1/2 lg (4) skinned, boned thighs
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    1 1/2 c Sliced, dried chorizo (7 oz)
    3 tb Tomato paste
    2 c Converted rice
    3 ts Capers packed in brine
    3 1/2 c Chicken broth
    1 c Frozen peas
    Lemon wedges; for serving

    Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet or pot over
    high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring,
    until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Season
    the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add
    to the skillet along with the chorizo; cook, turning
    occasionally, until the chicken starts to brown, about
    3 minutes.

    Move the chicken and chorizo to one side of the pan and
    stir in the tomato paste, rice and capers. Add the broth
    and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, about
    8 minutes. Stir in the peas, reduce the heat to medium
    low, cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 15
    minutes. Let rest, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff the rice
    with a fork, stirring to combine all the ingredients.

    Serve with lemon wedges.
