Instructions

Step 1

In a cast iron skillet, cook the chicken and garlic in olive oil until no longer pink, add the shrimp, water, rice, saffron, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook 15-20 minutes until rice is done. During that time, preheat oven to 350. Once rice is soft, add the tomatoes, green beans, pepper slices and green peas. Mix together, adjust the spices if you want to boost the flavor and stir and let the veggies soften for about 10 minutes. Arrange the veggies, if you like to give it a “design.” Bake covered for about 10-15 minutes. Check that your veggies have softened. It’s ready to serve!

Step 2

You can also add squid or oysters. The veggies can be increased or even add different ones. This dish is very versatile.
