2. Heat oil in large pan - cast iron works well on the grill.  

3. Cook chicken.

4. Add sausage when chicken is done.  Place meat into another pan and set aside; keep warm.

5. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic to the grill top pan; cook until onions and peppers are soft and glossy. 

6. Add seasoning to taste: pepper, salt, paprika, and cayenne. (Often I'll use garlic salt and pepper because I love garlic.)

7. Add the saffron rice and stir until rice is glossy and to avoid scorching ingredients - about 5-10 minutes.

8. Add chicken broth and continue stirring until you see a gentle simmer.

9. Add the meat back into the rice mixture pan. Ensure you have a good simmer and then cover. Cover and let simmer on med-low heat about 20-30 min. Test rice to ensure it's done.

 10. Top with slices of pepper for decorations and serve at once.  ENJOY!

 

 

 

OPTIONAL: For a more spectacular and Seafood Paella, take a few extra minutes while the rice is cooking, and in another pan add the following and simmer together until softly cooked (For one recipe): 1/4 cup white wine, 1/4 cup butter, 1 lbs lobster meat and/or crab meat pieces, 1 lb Shrimp, and 15 mussels. When softly cooked through, embellish the Paella in the last 5 minutes and for the grand presentation. I like to add a whole lobster on the top for a grand presentation.
