4 Cloves garlic
1 Onion
3 Whole tomatoes
1 Yellow pepper
1 Tsp Paprika
150ml White wine
3 Chicken breasts
3 Tbsp Parsley
1 Tsp Saffron
1 Tsp Cayenne
1 Tsp Thyme
400g Rice
800ml Chicken stock
165g Prawns
200g Calamari
100g Mussels
1 Lemon
Oil
Salt & Pepper
Roughly chop your tomatoes into eighths as well as chopping your pepper, garlic and onion then chopping your chicken into small bite sized pieces.
Put some oil into a pan with a lid and use a medium heat to fry the onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes then add your chopped tomatoes, paprika, salt and pepper cook for a further 4 minutes until jammy.
Pour your white wine into the pan, stir and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.
Add your chicken pieces as well as 2 Tbsp of your parsley, cayenne, thyme, saffron and rice, combine everything together with a good mix and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Now slowly add your chicken stock mixing as you do. You want an even spread of rice across your skillet. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon in.
Now turn the heat down to a low heat and leave to simmer with the lid on for 15-20 minutes until the rice is soft and has absorbed the stock.
When your rice becomes soft you can now add all of the seafood, distribute evenly across your paella, leave to cook for 5 minutes if more water is needed add some at this point.
When serving pour the rest of your parsley over as well as a lemon wedge. Now dig in!
