Heat olive oil in a large high rimmed pan such as a sauté pan over medium heat. Add diced chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes or until it starts to brown. Remove to a plate. Add cut chicken pieces to the remaining oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes until mostly cooked through. Remove to a plate.
To the same pan, add sliced onion and peppers. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften. Add minced garlic, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, and turmeric. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in diced tomatoes and uncooked rice. Stir to combine. Cook for 3 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Pour in chicken broth and turn heat to medium high so the liquid comes to a simmer. Add back the chorizo and chicken. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn heat to medium low and cook for about 15-20 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. Don't stir while it cooks.
Once most of the liquid is absorbed, sprinkle the frozen peas on top and cook another 5 minutes. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon on top and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with additional lemon juice and parsley if desired.
