  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion roughly chopped

Instructions
  • Preheat the Instant Precision Dutch Oven to 400°F for 60 Minutes.
  • Toss the diced chicken with the salt and paprika. Add the olive oil and seasoned chicken to the pan. Sauté for 8-10 Minutes, until all sides are golden and almost thoroughly cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside for later.
  • Add the sliced chorizo and olive oil to the pan. Sauté for 6-8 Minutes, until brown and crispy. Remove from pan and set aside for later.
  • Add the roughly chopped onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, and garlic to a blender and puree. This makes about 7 ½ cups of sauce. Pour into the pan, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Cover and cook for 5 Minutes.
  • Sprinkle the saffron into the hot chicken broth. Pour the wine and chicken broth into the Dutch oven. Add the rice and stir to combine.
  • Cook for 10 Minutes without the lid, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the string beans, peas, smoked paprika, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Cook for another 10 Minutes, then add the chicken and chorizo. Stir to combine.
  • Cook for a final 15 Minutes until the rice is cooked, and the paella has thickened. Do not stir in the final stages of cooking to ensure a crispy bottom. Serve warm!
  • For an even crispier bottom, remove the Dutch oven from the unit and Sauté over medium heat the final stages of cooking to ensure a crispy bottom. Serve warm!
