Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil over medium-high.
• Working in batches, cook chicken (do not crowd pot) until browned for about 7 to 8 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Reserve pot.
• Place bell pepper, chorizo, onion, garlic and tomatoes (with their juice) in pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated; about 4 to 6 minutes.
• Add rice, stirring until translucent around edges; about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add broth and chicken, bring to a boil.
• Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice begins to soften; about 10 minutes.
