Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6). Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large ovenproof frying pan or shallow casserole dish over medium heat.

Add the sliced onion, chorizo rings, and both red and yellow pepper strips to the pan. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and fry for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the chorizo has released its aromatic red oils.

Stir in the finely chopped garlic and sweet smoked paprika. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the garlic is soft and the spices are fragrant.

Tip in the chopped tomatoes, pitted green olives, and the drained butter beans. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Nestle the chicken thighs into the mixture, skin-side up. Season the chicken skin well with salt and pepper.
