MAKE CHICKEN PAELLA IN UNDER AN HOUR RECIPE | COOKING LIGHT
A Spanish dish from the Valencia region, paella is named for the cooking vessel itself: a round, shallow pan made of carbon steel that heats quickly and evenly. A good paella pan helps develop the socarrat, or crispy layer of rice crust on the bottom that's the most prized part of the dish. A large skillet will work as well if you don't have a paella pan. Look for short-grain Bomba or Valencia rice at specialty markets. Be aware that risotto rice like Arborio won't work here, since paella rice isn't meant to be creamy.

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6.
Tip the onion, peppers, garlic, chicken thighs, chorizo and olive oil into a roasting tin or a flat lidded casserole dish large enough to hold everything in roughly one layer (it’s OK if there’s a bit of overlap). Transfer to the oven and roast for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, pop the saffron strands into a mug with a couple of tablespoons of boiling water, and set aside.
Once the chicken and peppers have had 25 minutes, remove the tin from the oven and stir through the paella rice, hot chicken stock, and steeped saffron along with the saffron water. Cover tightly with foil or the lid (this is important so the rice cooks), then return the dish to the oven at 160°C fan/180°C/gas 4 for a further hour, until the rice is cooked through.
Once the paella is cooked, add a dash more hot chicken stock or boiling water to adjust the texture as you wish, squeeze over the lemon juice, taste and adjust the salt as needed, then serve hot, scattered with parsley and lemon wedges alongside.
Note: You could freeze this in portions if making ahead.

Heat the paella pan then add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the chicken and chorizo. Season well with salt and pepper and cook until quite brown all over. Remove the chicken and chorizo to a bowl.
For the sofrito
Add the rest of the oil to the same pan and, when hot, add the onion. Cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until the onion has softened and is golden.
Now add the garlic, cook for a few minutes then add the capsicum and cook for a further 5 minutes until lightly coloured and softened.
Now add the tomatoes, season liberally with salt and pepper and cook slowly until the sofrito has reduced and there is no liquid left. Add about ½ cup of water and continue to cook until the liquid has again reduced. This should all take about 45 mins and can be done ahead of time. The sofrito should have a concentrated flavour and pulpy consistency.
For the paella
While the sofrito is cooking, gently heat the saffron in a small pan for a few minutes, until it changes colour and becomes fragrant. Be careful as it burns easily. Remove from the heat, crush with the back of a spoon and add to 2 tablespoons of warm water. Add the chicken, chorizo and paprika to the finished sofrito and cook, stirring for a couple of minutes.
Add the water or stock, the beans and rosemary and bring to the boil. Taste the mixture. It should be very tasty – if not, add salt. Now add the saffron and liquid and the rice and bring to the boil. Stir briefly then turn to a low heat. Do not stir any more. Cook the paella for 15-18 minutes or until the rice is plump and almost soft; it should be a little resilient. Now turn the heat to high and cook for a couple of minutes. Any remaining liquid will boil away and a crust will form on the bottom of the pan.
Remove from the heat and cover with a tea-towel for 10 mins, then remove the tea-towel and allow to rest for another 5-10 mins before serving. Squeeze over the lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve directly from the pan.
