# Ingredientes:

→ Meats

01 - 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Vegetables & Aromatics

03 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
04 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
05 - 200 grams green beans, trimmed and cut into 5-cm pieces
06 - 1 medium tomato, grated or finely chopped

→ Rice & Broth

07 - 1 ½ cups short-grain rice (e.g., Bomba)
08 - 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
09 - 4 cups chicken broth, hot
10 - Salt and pepper, to taste

→ Optional Garnish

11 - Lemon wedges
12 - Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs

# Instrucciones:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
02 - Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet or earthenware cazuela over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
03 - In the same pan, lower heat to medium. Add onion and garlic; cook for 3 minutes until soft.
04 - Stir in green beans and cook for 3 minutes, then add tomato and cook until reduced, about 4 minutes.
05 - Stir in the rice and paprika, toasting for 1 minute to absorb flavor.
06 - Pour in the hot broth, mix gently, and return the chicken thighs on top, skin-side up.
07 - Bring to a gentle simmer on the stovetop, then transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
08 - Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with lemon wedges and herbs if desired.

# Notas:

01 - For a more traditional touch, add a few slices of morcilla or chorizo before baking.
02 - Use flat green beans (judía verde plana) if available.
03 - For extra depth, stir a pinch of saffron into the broth before adding.
