Ingredients
- 2 cups paella rice
- 1 lb chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
2 tsp Smokey Rebel Chipotle Cowboy seasoning
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
- In a large skillet or paella pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in the chicken pieces and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced peppers and cook for another 3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the paella rice and Smoky Rebel Chipotle Cowboy seasoning to the skillet, stirring to coat the rice with the mixture.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 15 minutes.
- Stir in the frozen peas and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat, let it sit for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
