Instructions

Remove the stalks and cores from the peppers and cut into thin slices. Peel and grate the garlic (use a garlic press if you have one), finely chop the parsley leaves and cut the tomatoes into quarters. Chop the chicken thighs into bite-sized chunks. Pour the boiling water (amount as stated in the ingredient list) into a jug with the chicken stock pot and stir to dissolve. Pull the rosemary leaves from their sprigs

Heat a splash of olive oil in a frying pan on high heat. Season your chicken well with salt and pepper. Add your chicken to the pan and fry for a few minutes. Once brown on all sides, remove and keep to the side.

Add another splash of olive oil to the frying pan. Add your peppers and tomato.Cook for a few mins until softened. Add in your garlic, your rosemary leaves and the chorizo.

After 3 mins, add the rice and half of your parsley. Cook for a few minutes until your rice absorbs the oil.

Add your chicken stock and chicken. Give everything a good stir. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15-20 mins. Tip: Don’t stir - a good paella always has a crusty bottom!

Once the liquid has been soaked up, take your paella off the heat. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave for 5 mins. Serve with your remaining parsley and big wedges of lemon.
