Chicken, Prawn and Chorizo Paella

3 simple steps to creating a delicious weekday dish.

This really is a great quick dish, 3 simple steps and you have a dinner that packs a punch in the flavour department.

• Prepare all the ingredients.
• Heat an ovenproof dish, cook off and brown all the ingredients. Add the rice then the liquid and bring to the boil.
• Place the dish straight into the oven for 20 minutes. (And this is my favourite part) let the heat do all the hard work for you, allowing the rice to absorb all that amazing flavour you created at the stove top.

Once ready, we love to just place the dish on the table and let everyone tuck in, for a true one pan dinner experience (and less dishes)!

Other paella recipe ideas.

Chicken, prawn and chorizo paella is our favourite but honestly unless you are going for a traditional dish, it's actually entirely up to you. But don't go silly with the flavours! You want to think of flavours that work together and can hold up to the cooking process.

Chorizo, squid, mussels, clams, prawns, green peas make a great seafood paella.

Or capsicum, courgette, spinach, artichoke and olives for a delicious vegetarian option.

It just depends on what you like to eat and how traditional you want to be. You can make the ingredients seasonal to your region or simply use up what you have available. Once you know the basic method, get creative!
