Easy To Make Chicken and Chorizo Paella In One Pan

chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey sausage reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

saffron

🥗Healthier: turmeric

💰Cheaper: annatto

Turmeric adds color and flavor at a lower cost.

Heat olive oil in a fairly large sauté pan.

Add frozen onions and chopped garlic, frying for a short while.

Add peppers and chopped chorizo, stirring until the chorizo begins to release its oils.

Add chicken, stirring until the sides begin to seal and it starts to turn brown.

Sprinkle all spices over the ingredients in the pan.

Add the tin of chopped tomatoes.

Pour chicken stock over everything and stir well to mix the flavors.

Once boiling, add paella rice, stirring to ensure it's mixed in and submerged in the liquid.

Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes.

Once most of the liquid is absorbed by the rice, add frozen peas directly into the pan and stir.

Leave for about a minute or two, then serve.
