Method
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-based lidded frying pan and cook the red onion and chorizo for 3-4 minutes, stirring until soft, golden in places and the chorizo has released its oil.
- Add the chicken breast and red pepper and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Add the rice, stir well, then add the saffron and chicken stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a little more stock or water if necessary until the rice is tender.
- Add the seafood selection and peas and simmer again for a further 4 minutes until the seafood is piping hot, adding more stock if necessary.
- Stir through the parsley and serve with fresh lemon wedges, if you like.
