-
1
Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika. In a large paella pan or skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
AI Wisdom: Chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage. -
2
In the same pan, add the chorizo and cook until slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
AI Wisdom: Stir occasionally to prevent burning. -
3
Stir in the Arborio rice, saffron mixture, and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
AI Wisdom: Avoid stirring the rice too much to develop a crispy bottom layer, known as socarrat. -
4
Nestle the seared chicken back into the pan. Add peas on top. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
AI Wisdom: Check doneness of rice and chicken before serving. -
5
Serve hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over the paella.
AI Wisdom: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
