Add chicken to fat left in skillet, break up any clumps, and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 4 minutes: transfer to plate with chorizo.Heat remaining 2 t. oil in now-empty skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until beginning to soften and darken, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and saffron and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in remaining 1/2 c. water and reserved tomato juice, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in par-cooked rice, breaking up any large clumps, and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 8 to 12 minutes.Stir in browned chorizo, chicken and any accumulated juices, and peas and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, uncovered until bottom layer of rice is golden and crisp, about 5 minutes, rotating skillet halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.Serving Size: serves 2Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TATERS211.
