Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 lb mussels, cleaned and debearded
- 1/2 lb squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
- 1 1/2 cups of bomba or calasparra rice
- 4 cups of chicken broth
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tomato, grated
- 1/2 cup of frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of saffron threads
- 1/2 cup of white wine
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the saffron threads with the white wine and let it sit for 10 minutes to infuse.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- In a large paella pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the shrimp, mussels, and squid. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the seafood is just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the grated tomato and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat it with the vegetable mixture.
- Pour in the saffron-infused wine and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is almost cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Gently nestle the cooked chicken, shrimp, mussels, and squid into the rice mixture. Sprinkle the frozen peas on top.
- Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and let it cook for another 10 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the seafood is heated through.
- Remove from heat and let the paella rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
