Preparation Time:
15 minutes
Cooking Time:
45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 - 8 fresh mussels, in shells
  • 250g skinless boneless chicken thighs, diced
  • 1 tsp Gregg's Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 capsicum, diced
  • 2 tsp Gregg's Crushed Garlic
  • 2 cups medium grain rice
  • 2 Tbsp Gregg's Smoked Paprika (extra)
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 litre liquid chicken stock
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 200g cooked chorizo sausage, sliced
  • 6 - 8 cooked prawns
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Method

Clean and scrub the mussel shells. Set aside.

Sprinkle the chicken with the 1 teaspoon of Gregg's Smoked Paprika. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or paella pan over high heat, add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes or until it is golden.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium. Add more oil to pan if required and fry the onion, capsicum and Gregg's Crushed Garlic for 2 - 3 minutes. Add the rice and extra Gregg's Smoked Paprika to the pan and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Stir the tomatoes and stock into the rice and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer, uncovered without stirring, for 20 minutes then add the peas, chorizo, prawns, chicken and mussels. Cover with a lid or foil and continue cooking for another 10 -15 minutes or until rice is cooked, all the stock has evaporated and the mussels have opened. Discard any mussels that haven't opened.

Serve from the pan garnished with lemon wedges.
