Cooking Instructions
Prepare Ingredients
Gather all ingredients and chop vegetables accordingly.
Cook Chicken and Chorizo
In a large paella pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add chorizo and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Add Tomatoes and Spices
Stir in diced tomatoes, saffron, and paprika. Cook for 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
Add Rice and Broth
Stir in the rice until well coated. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer.
Add Seafood
After 10 minutes of simmering, add shrimp, mussels, and peas. Stir gently and cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mussels have opened.
Season and Serve
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the paella rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges.
