Prepare the specified ingredients.
Cut the chicken fillet into pieces and fry until golden brown in olive oil. Remove to a plate.
1 pc chicken fillet, olive oil
Fry the shrimp until cooked.
100 g shrimp
Finely chop the onion and garlic and fry until soft.
1 pc onion, 1 clove garlic
Blanch the tomato, remove the skin and chop finely. Add to the onion. Add peas.
1 pc tomato, 40 g green peas
Rinse the rice, put it in the pan and fry it slightly, stirring constantly.
200 g rice
Add two glasses of water. Add chicken, salt, turmeric, paprika, and pepper. Cover and cook until the water evaporates. Usually, saffron is used to make paella, but in home recipes, turmeric can be used if saffron is not available.
1 pinch salt, 1 pinch pepper, 1 pinch paprika, 1 pinch turmeric
During cooking, it is desirable not to stir the contents of the pan. When the rice absorbs the water and becomes soft, add the shrimp, mix and let it sit for a while. A light crust of rice should form on the bottom, which the Spaniards particularly appreciate.
The chicken paella is ready. Garnish with lemon slices and herbs if desired. Enjoy your meal!
