   Once tender, stir the rice and season generously with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on top and sprinkle with the chorizo. Cover the pan and increase the heat to medium-high for ⏱️ 3 minutes , until a golden brown crust forms on the bottom of the pan and the chicken is heated through. Peek at the rice to make sure the crust doesn’t burn; adjust heat accordingly. Remove the pan from the heat and finish with a sprinkle of parsley and a few squeezes of lemon. Enjoy!
