Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Pour some oil into the paella pan and brown the garlic. If you don’t have a paella pan, you can use a regular pan. While the garlic cooks to a golden brown, peel the artichoke and chop it into small pieces.
2

Once the garlic is golden brown, add the tomato, peas, and chickpeas. Add the artichoke and the glass of water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3

Add the chicken, rice, chicken broth and the splash of white wine. Let the paella cook for about 15 minutes without stirring.
4

Remove the paella from the heat and set aside for 10 minutes while covered, but leave a small part uncovered so the rice can breathe. Serve.
