Hey everyone, today we're going to make a delicious and easy-to-follow recipe for Spanish Paella. This classic dish is a one-pan rice dish that is packed with flavor and can be made with a variety of meats and vegetables. For this recipe, we will be using chicken and shrimp. Let's get started!

Here are the ingredients you will need:
- 1 1/2 cups Spanish short-grain rice
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Lemon wedges, for serving

First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large paella pan or oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

In the same pan, add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the chopped bell peppers, frozen peas, and chopped tomato, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Add the smoked paprika and saffron threads to the pan and stir to combine. Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat it with the vegetable mixture. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Nestle the chicken thighs and shrimp into the rice mixture, skin side up. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the rice is tender.

Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with lemon wedges and enjoy!

And that's it! A delicious and easy-to-follow recipe for Spanish paella that's perfect for any occasion.
