to make chicken and mushroom one-pot paella, you’ll need:
- 4 chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 150g shiitake mushrooms, chopped
- 100g button mushrooms (or whatever type you like), chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced (get one of these!)
- 300g paella rice
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 litre chicken stock (dissolve two chicken stock cubes in a litre of boiling water)
- pinch of salt and pepper
All of our hampers have massive amounts of chicken in – but actually, here’s a switch: you can now choose what you want to go in your hamper – so if you’re not a fan of chicken, say (unlike me), hoy some more beef in there. Up to you.
to make chicken and mushroom one-pot paella, you should:
- prepare the onion, chicken and mushroom and place into bowls – it makes it much easier!
- preheat the oven to 200°c
- in a large ovenproof casserole pot, add a little oil over a high heat
- add the chicken in two batches until seared in each side (this will take about five minutes)
- remove the chicken the pan into a large bowl and set aside
- add the mushrooms and cook for another few minutes, then add the onions, chopped garlic and some salt and pepper
- tip the mushrooms and onion in with the chicken
- add a little more oil to the now-empty pan, and then add the paella rice and spread out well int he bottom of the pan
- add the chicken stock and give a good stir, and then add the tomatoes, chilli powder and paprika
- stir in the chicken, mushrooms and onions and give another good stir, then bring the lot to a simmer
- place the pot in the oven uncovered for about 40 minutes
- serve!
