Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken and Sausage

    Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Slice chorizo into rounds.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the green and red bell peppers, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.

  3. 3

    Prep Seafood (if using)

    Rinse the shrimp and mussels under cold water and set aside.

Cooking the Paella

  1. 4

    Sauté the Meat

    In a large paella pan or a wide skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and chorizo. Sauté until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 5

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Rice and Broth

    Stir in the Bomba rice, allowing it to toast slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and add the saffron threads. Bring to a boil.

  4. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the chicken and chorizo to the pan. If using seafood, add shrimp and mussels at this point. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 8

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

  6. 9

    Rest and Garnish

    Once done, remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
