Chicken and Prawn Paella

Not a traditional Spanish Paella, but still really tasty and easy to make!  Adjust chilli and paprika for your taste.

SERVES: 2
TIME TO PLATE: 45 MINUTES

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 x 200g chicken breast fillet, trimmed and chopped
  • 200g green (raw) prawns (shrimp), tails intact
  • 1 small brown onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • ¾ cup medium-grain brown rice
  • 1 x 400g can diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
  • 1 ¼ cups salt reduced chicken stock
  • Flat-leaf parsley leaves and lemon wedges, to serve

HOW TO MAKE:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken and prawns and cook for 4–5 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
