Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt.
Add the short-grain rice and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Return the browned chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the rice mixture.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let the paella rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
