High Protein Paella

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the CHORIZO.  Cook until browned and broken up into small pieces, then remove with a slotted spoon & set aside.

2. To the pan, add the GARLIC, ONION, and RED BELL PEPPER, and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften.

3. Add the CHICKEN - cooking for about 3 minutes, or until lightly browned on the outside but not cooked through.

4. Add the RICE, and mix well to coat it with the oils from the pan.

5. Add the chorizo back to the pan, and stir in the CHICKEN BROTH, drained TOMATOES, and SAFFRON.

6. Bring the dish to a simmer, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer so the bottom doesn’t burn.  No more stirring!  Simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered.

7. Add the PEAS, scattering over the top.  Add the SHRIMP, submerging down into the rice mixture a bit.
