Time 2h35m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tbsp olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs , thickly sliced
240g chorizo ring, sliced
1 onion , sliced
2 garlic cloves , crushed
1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
pinch of saffron (optional)
150ml white wine
300g paella rice
400g can chopped tomatoes

150g frozen peas
200g fresh or frozen raw king prawns , peeled

Add the onion to the pan and fry for 5-7 mins, or until just softened. Stir in the garlic, paprika and saffron, if using, and cook for 2 mins. Pour in the wine and simmer until reduced by half. Tip into the slow cooker with the rice, tomatoes and stock. Season. Cover and cook for 1½ hrs.

Tips:

  • For a more intense flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts. Thighs have a higher fat content, which will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
  • If you don't have a crock pot, you can make this recipe in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Just be sure to stir the ingredients occasionally to prevent them from sticking.
  • Add a variety of vegetables to your paella. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, carrots, and peas.
  • If you want a more authentic paella, use bomba rice. This type of rice is native to the Valencia region of Spain and is known for its ability to absorb a lot of liquid and flavor.
  • Serve your paella with a dollop of aioli sauce or romesco sauce. These sauces will help to add flavor and richness to the dish.

Conclusion:

This Weight Watchers Crock Pot Chicken Paella is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and healthy ingredients, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give this one a try.
