DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.

  2. Use a paella skillet (paellera) or 13-inch cast-iron skillet to heat chicken broth and add saffron. Keep at low heat.

  3. Sauté chorizo in skillet at low heat for 1 minute. Set aside.

  4. Increase heat and add chicken. Brown for 8 minutes and set aside.

  5. Add olive oil to skillet; sauté onion for 3–4 minutes or until brown. Add garlic, tomato, pepper, chorizo and rosemary. Cook for 5 additional minutes.

  6. Add rice and mix gently for 3–4 minutes to integrate flavors. When moisture is absorbed, add chicken pieces and chicken broth.

  7. Cook at medium heat for 10 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.

  8. Add peas and place in oven. Cook for 10–12 minutes or until rice is completely cooked. Remove from oven and garnish with red pepper strips.
