1

Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear.

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

5

Add sliced chicken, pork, and chorizo; cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

6

Stir in the rice, ensuring it is well coated with the oil and mixed with the meats and vegetables.

7

Pour in enough water to cover the rice by about an inch; add bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.

8

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender.

9

Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to steam.

Fluff rice with a fork and stir in chopped parsley before serving.
