Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups short-grain white rice
  • 1 quart chicken stock
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)
  • 1 pinch saffron threads

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½ bunch parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing chili powder, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken pieces and let them rest.
  2. In a large skillet or paella pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and sauté crushed garlic and red pepper flakes for about 30 seconds. Add the rice and toast for about 3 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken stock along with lemon juice, saffron threads, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for about 20 minutes until rice is tender.
  4. In another skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken until browned (about 3 minutes), then add bell pepper and chicken sausage; cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in shrimp until they turn pink; remove bay leaf from the rice mixture before serving. Mix in parsley and lemon zest before plating.
