Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the products that we will need to make Chicken Paella. We will need: chicken breast, frozen green peas, rice and vegetables with herbs.
Step 2:
Wash the chicken fillet and dry it with paper napkins. Cut the meat into cubes about 2 centimeters by 2. Peel and wash the vegetables (remove the seeds and stalk from the bell pepper), garlic can be left in the peel. Carrot cut into small squares, onion cubes, bell pepper and sausage similarly.
Step 3:
To make Paella, it is better to use a frying pan with high edges. Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a frying pan, add the chicken fillet pieces and fry, stirring continuously, for about five minutes.
Step 4:
Send onions and carrots to the meat, also fry everything together on high heat for another five minutes.
Step 5:
Add Bulgarian pepper, smoked sausage and tomatoes to the pan (I found mini tomatoes, I used them in the recipe). If desired, you can remove the peel from the tomato beforehand by pouring boiling water over the tomato. Fry for another five minutes.
Step 6:
Send green peas, garlic, turmeric to all ingredients. Add salt to taste and add your favorite spices, mix everything again, leave on the stove for two to three minutes.
Step 7:
Rinse the rice several times in clean water, put it on top of the contents of the pan in an even layer, pour all the chicken broth so that the liquid covers the rice by 1-1.5 centimeters. You can use ordinary boiling water, it will turn out no worse with it. Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to medium and leave to languish for 15-20 minutes, until the rice is ready.
Step 8:
Sprinkle the finished dish with finely chopped parsley, remove the pan from the heat and let the Paella brew for at least 5 minutes.
Step 9:
Serve hot. When serving, sprinkle with allspice if desired.
With green frozen peas, canned corn can also be added to Paella.
In my family, not everyone likes the taste of corn, so I cook Paella without it, the dish turns out to be very fragrant and delicious anyway.
If you are a fan of spicy, then add chili pepper to taste or ground hot pepper to the pan in step number 5.
Bon appetit!
