Ingredients

1/2 red onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, chopped

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp saffron

1 tsp sweet smoked paprika

bay leaf

4 chicken thighs, skin on, excess fat trimmed

1/2 cup diced chorizo, about one sausage

2 cups Arborio or Valencia (short grain) rice

2 small tomatoes, diced

1 lb. clams, scrubbed and debearded

1 lb. mussels, scrubbed and debearded

12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 cup white wine

3 cups chicken stock

salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 450. Heat olive oil in large, wide, oven-safe skillet on medium heat. Sear chicken, skin side down first until deep golden brown. Set chicken aside.

Gently fry chorizo for a minute or two, then add onion, garlic and sweat until onion is soft. Add rice, paprika and stir, toasting rice for 3-4 minutes.

Add saffron, bay leaf, white wine and chicken stock; bring to simmer and season lightly with salt and pepper. Return seared chicken back to pan. Add clams and tomatoes.

Place in oven on middle rack and roast, stirring occasionally, until rice is three quarters done, about 15 minutes. Add mussels and shrimp to pan and continue to roast until mussels open and cook through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat, season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

I make something similar, with just mussels and rice. I love the way rice gets inside the mussels when they open, and almost stuffs them. Your recipe is so much better than what i make! It has great combo of ingredients and flavors going on. Next time I make this, I'll follow this recipe, thanks! Flagged you for beauty!
