My Version of Chicken Chorizo Paella

Well.. It's Monday again! Time for

ONE POT MONDAY

For this Monday, I was craving a little spanish flair. What's better than paella? But how do you make a paella gluten free and healthy? I took on the challenge and I believe I have succeeded.

Emily's Chicken and Chorizo Paella 

Ingredients:

1 bell pepper (I chose orange)
3 Cloves garlic minced

1/2 red onion
1 medium tomato 

1 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 pound gluten free Chorizo sausage
1 3/4 c Brown Rice

dash of Saffron

1/2 T Italian seasoning

1 t chili powder
 T lemon juice 
4 Cups low sodium, gluten free vegetable broth
2 Cups cooked Chicken


Here we go!!!

Go ahead and get your ingredients chopped so you can move through the recipe smoothly. 

You will need to remove the casing from the sausage. Simply run a knife along one side of the sausage and the casing should pull right off.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and add in the Chorizo. Cook for 3-4 minutes.

 Toss in your chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic and sauté until onions are translucent (4-5 minutes)

Add in the saffron, Italian seasoning, chili powder and stir to combine. Be sure not to add too much saffron. It has a strong taste!

Add in your rice and stir to combine.

Sauté for 3 minutes.

Add in your vegetable broth and lemon juice and give it a quick stir.

Add in your chicken and tomato and stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer  for 45 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fully cooked.

Feliz de Lunes!!

Thanks Y'all!
