Instructions
Step 1
Transfer the saffron into a hot chicken broth, give it a stir and set aside. It is key to add it early enough so that it has time to release the aroma before you add it to the dish.
Step 2
Cut the chicken thigh fillets into small strips and season with salt. Heat olive oil in a pan and saute the chicken until nicely browned. Set aside.
Step 3
Add chorizo to the pan and saute until heated through. Set aside.
Step 4
Lower the heat. Slice the onions and red pepper; roughly chop the tomatoes. Add to the pan and saute. When soft, add the white wine.
Step 5
When the wine has reduced, add the sweet smoked paprika powder, arborio rice and stir to coat.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken stock. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Add in the peas and chopped parsley. Let it simmer for additional 10 minutes.
Step 8
Finally, mix in the lemon juice and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
