Ingredients

1/2 bunch chopped Italian flat leaf parsley

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves crushed garlic

2 cups short-grain white rice

1 tablespoon paprika

1 bay leaf

1 chopped red bell pepper

2 tspns dried oregano

salt and black pepper

2 tbspns olive oil

2 lbs skinless boneless chicken breasts (cut into 2 inch pieces)

2 tbspns divided olive oil

1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp

1 tspn crushed red pepper flakes

1 quart chicken stock

2 zested lemons

1 chopped Spanish onion

1 lb chorizo sausage (casings removed)

1 pinch saffron threads

Directions

In a medium-large bowl, mix up 2 tbspns olive oil, oregano, paprika, and salt and pepper. Stir in your cut chicken pieces. Cover this and refrigerate.

Heat up 2 tbspns of olive oil in a large frying-pan (or paella pan) over medium temp. Stir in the garlic, red pepper, and rice. Cook (for about 3 minutes) and stir this in order to coat the rice with oil. Now stir in saffron, bay leaf, chicken stock, parsley, and lemon zest. Bring this to a boil, cover it, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 2 tbspns of olive oil in a separate frying-pan over medium heat. Then stir in your marinated chicken and onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped bell pepper and sausage. Cook this for 5 minutes. Stir in your shrimp and cook until both sides of the shrimp are pink.

Spread your cooked rice mixture onto a serving dish and top with your meat and seafood. Ta-Da!

Try adding 1" pieces of asparagus when you add the chicken stock. I also like to add pan-fried (canned) artichoke hearts as garnish - the tang of the artichoke hearts contrasts nicely with the other ingredients.
