Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium to high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and brown the chicken in the pan on both sides.
In another pan, heat the olive oil and add the chorizo and bacon. Add onions, garlic, leek, thyme and bay leaves and stir. After a couple of minutes add the mushrooms and capsicum, and butter. Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, white wine and chicken pieces into the pan.

The chicken should be cooked but not falling off the bone, and the sauce should have thickened.
