- Prepare ingredients, cut and portion according to ingredient list.
- Heat stock in a pot together with saffron.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, pour just enough olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) to brown chicken.
- I like cooking the chicken at least halfway through just to make sure it cooks completely later on.
- Set aside.
- If needed, add a little bit more olive oil.
- Saute chorizo and then cook the shrimp.
- Set aside.
- In the same pan you used to brown chicken, chorizo and shrimp, sweat onions first, then the garlic, and then bell pepper.
- De-glaze pan with dry white wine.
- Add tomatoes and let simmer until the liquid evaporates.
- Add rice and stir.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken and chorizo then add the chicken stock with saffron.
- Rice should be completely covered with stock.
- Cook without stirring, uncovered, for about 1520 minutes.
- Paella should not be soupy.
- Once cooked, add shrimp and sprinkle green peas.
- Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
