Paella is a traditional Spanish dish.
It's an elaborate combination in which saffron-scented rice is cooked with chicken, sausage and seafood. Cooked in a special paella pan, the dish is a spectacular presentation of culinary skill. I've taken the basic idea and created a quick and easy version that packs great flavor without requiring a lot of preparation time or a special pan. Chicken strips are given a short marinade in white wine, lime juice, Worcestershire and soy sauce. While the chicken marinates, sliced smoked sausage, chopped onion and bell pepper are sauteed in olive oil.
