  1. Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and slice the chorizo into thin rounds.
  2. Finely chop the onion, and red bell pepper, and mince the garlic clove.
  3. In a medium-sized pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the chorizo slices to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes until the oils from the chorizo are released.
  5. Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the rice to the pan, stirring to coat in the oils and juices. Pour in the chicken stock and add the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pan, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
  8. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
