Recipe for Chicken and Chorizo Rice

Prepare all the ingredients. Cut the chicken into small pieces. Remove the skin from the sausage and cut it into small pieces as well. Peel and chop the onion. Peel and cut the carrots into small pieces. Mine were small and thin, so I sliced them into rounds.

Heat the oil in a pot. Add the chicken and sear it on all sides for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the chorizo, onion, and carrots and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring often.

Add the rice and stir.

Add the boiling water, the tomato sauce, the bay leaves, the branches of thyme and rosemary, and the salt. Mix.

Cover and let simmer over medium heat for about 25 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Stir once after 15 minutes of cooking.

Finally, turn off the heat and let it rest covered for another 10-15 minutes; the rice will continue to swell gently. Then serve.
