    Chicken Paella you Need for your Next Dinner Party

    October 20, 2014

    Serves 8
    Preparation time: 20 minutes
    Cooking time: 1-1½ hours

    • 1,7kg chicken portions
    • salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 45ml olive oil
    • 2 large red peppers, sliced
    • 1 onion, diced
    • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    • 150g chorizo sausage, cut into slices
    • 80ml (50g) sun-dried tomatoes in vinaigrette, chopped
    • 250ml arborio or long-grain rice
    • 280ml chicken stock
    • 175ml dry white wine
    • 15ml tomato purée
    • 2,5ml paprika
    • frozen peas

    1 Season the chicken portions.
    2 Heat half the olive oil in a large saucepan and fry the chicken portions until golden brown all over. Fry only a few pieces at a time.
    3 Fry the peppers and onions in the same saucepan until soft – add more olive oil if necessary. Add the garlic and stir-fry for another minute. Add the chorizo and sun-dried tomatoes and stir-fry for a few minutes.
    4 Pour the rice into the saucepan and stir until it’s thoroughly coated with oil. Add the stock, wine, tomato purée and paprika. Heat to boiling point and then reduce the temperature.
    5 Place the chicken portions on top of the rice. It’s important for the rice to be completely covered with liquid. Simmer slowly for 50-60 minutes or until the rice and chicken are cooked. Stir in the peas shortly before serving.
