  1. Heat coconut oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until golden brown, add garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
  2. Add in chicken cubes and cook until all sides are browned, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add in soy chorizo and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Add in paprika, cumin and salt. Stir well.

Turn the heat to medium, cover and cook for about 25 minutes until the rice is fully cooked. Check after 10 minutes to make sure the water hasn't finished.
