Description

A flavorful dish featuring chicken, olives, chorizo, and kale, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pimiento-stuffed olives (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 ounces Spanish chorizo (thinly sliced)
  • 2 red bell peppers (thinly sliced)
  • 1 medium Spanish onion (sliced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (smashed)
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 2 cups torn kale leaves (packed)
  • 8 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon Spanish paprika
  • 1 teaspoon EACH: salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Coarsely chop 1 ½ cups of the olives.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo, red pepper, and onion and cook until the veggies soften, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped olives, garlic, and rosemary and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the kale and let it wilt.
  5. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them between the veggies. Sprinkle the top of the chicken with the Spanish paprika, salt, and pepper.
  6. Put the skillet into your oven, uncovered, and cook for 40 minutes, or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of olives around the skillet and serve right away.
