This recipe for easy paella is a show-stopping mixture of seasoned rice with shrimp, sausage and chicken. Simple and delicious!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 boneless chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 sweet onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 1 cup chicken broth, plus extra as needed
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon saffron or turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 14 ounce can diced tomato
  • 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled
  • 6 ounces sausage (your choice!)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium high heat. Saute chicken until just golden. Add onion and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add rice and stir. Add broth and wine, salt and pepper and saffron or turmeric and stir. Simmer for 15 minutes, adding more chicken broth if needed.
  3. Add tomato, shrimp and sausage and simmer until rice is just done and shrimp is cooked through, about another 5-10 minutes. Ideally the rice should stick to the bottom of the pan to form a little crust (but don’t fret if it doesn’t, it will still be scrumptious!).
  4. Hurray! You’ve made paella!
