*Delicious Paella Recipe: A Touch of Spain! 🇪🇸*
*Ingredients:*
2 cups paella rice
4 cups chicken broth
500g chicken breast, diced
200g mussels
200g shrimp, peeled and deveined
500g beautiful colorful vegetables (e.g., peas, zucchini, carrots), chopped into small pieces
2 tomatoes, diced
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
A pinch of saffron threads
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil
*Instructions:*
1. *Preparation:* Start by preparing all the ingredients: chop the vegetables, set aside the seafood, and dice the chicken.
2. *Sauté:* In a large paella pan (or large skillet), heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft.
3. *Add Chicken:* Add the diced chicken breast to the pan and cook until golden brown and cooked through.
4. *Rice and Spices:* Add the rice and smoked paprika, and stir well so the rice absorbs the flavors. Let the rice toast for about 2 minutes.
5. *Broth and Saffron:* Pour the chicken broth into the pan and add the saffron threads. Stir everything well, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the paella simmer for 15-20 minutes without stirring.
6. *Vegetables and Seafood:* After the cooking time, add the vegetables and evenly distribute the mussels and shrimp over the rice. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and let everything cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and the mussels have opened.
7. *Serve:* Remove the pan from the heat and let the paella sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve directly from the pan.
