This recipe was very easy and it turned out to be one of the most delicious meals ever!! I added some diced carrots with the peas at the end and it was awesome. I know in reading some of the other reviews there was some negative feedback on this; well all of my feedback is positive!!! Easy and awesome!! A MUST!!
MY FAMILY LOVED THIS DISH!!

Delicious! I could not find saffron at Stop and Shop but I did find Goya Saszon. It made the dish great and you get about 8 packs in the box. It wasn't too bad price wise considering you can use it 8 times! The chicken was just so tender and juicy. Try it, you'll love it!
Good Recipe

I must say this is an excellent paella recipe, chicken paella is my favorite. I understand that saffron is expensive but that is what is in paella so if you don't want to pay for saffron don't make paella. Also not all paella has seafood, I have been to Spain and I must say while most places do serve seafood paella by far my favorite was the chicken paella. Good recipe, fairly easy, and almost but not quite as good as the paella in Spain.
Great and Easy Paella

This recipe was easy to follow and tasted wonderful. My family was fighting over the last of the rice. I also added large shrimp and clams to the paella at the very end. In a large pot, add 1 1/2 cans(the really large cans - around 32 oz) of chicken broth and a package of Goya Sazon, I cooked the (12)clams for about 10 minutes and added the (21)shrimp for the last 5 minutes. Discard any clams that don't open up. Remove shrimp and clams from pan and arrange on top of the paella.

Paula must have had her head in the butter on this one. The ingredents were out of wack for me and it took for ever to run down chirizo sausage and it wasn't cheap. There are much better recipes by other chefs on The Food Network.
Feel free to leave a mark...

This was great! However, I usually add or delete items to taste. This time I used white long grain rice, used smoked sausage instead of Chorizo and compensatated with a few dashes of Tabasco. No need for $affron if you cannot find it as in my situation. Also I added a half pint of heavy cream at the final stage for creamyness and used 5 oz. frozen whole kernel corn vs the peas. Any veg. will do. Either way, it's good to go! Also, feel free to use your own chicken seasoning. We used Old Bay vs. paprika. Be sure to tuck and check the chicken after the 20 minute mark! Add extra chix stock or cream/milk if needed.
So rich

This is a great paella recipe. I made it for friends and everyone raved over it. I didn't have saffron, so I found a rice packet with saffron already added. It worked just as well. I would highly recommend this recipe not only for taste but also for ease.
What a terrific meal!

This was the first time that I ever made a Paella and it was fantastic! I was not able to buy spanish chorizo, so I used mexican chorizo and crumbled it. The leftovers were even better the next day.
Quick and delicious

I was so pleased with this outstanding recipe. I only had one chicken breast, so I halved the rest of the recipe. I added a bit of dried garlic/parsley mix to the chicken coating because I love garlic, and I also added pimento stuffed green olives and some well drained canned artichoke hearts with the peas at the end. My husband and I both thought this was a great recipe, and I'm so pleased that it virtually cooked itself. It was nice not to have to stir the aborio rice as you would in a risotto. Thank you Paula!

I made this last night. Not only was it delicious, it's far better than any other recipe I've tried for paella. I've made Michael Chiarello's Spanish Style Paella and that was a lot of work making the broth, etc. This one was so easy I couldn't believe it turned out so good! I, too, added some shrimp just before going to the "steaming" stage with the towel over the pan. I also used all chicken thighs because I had them on hand. This is a really fun dinner party dish. Put the paella pan right on the table and you can eat directly from it (traditional) or everyone can serve themselves. Yes, saffron is expensive but so is good perfume. But, you only use of little of each one, so it lasts a long time! This is the only recipe for paella I will use going forward, maybe a few variations here and there but this is THE one.
fantastic

Came out excellent. Even better as leftovers, my family loved it. I added cooked shrimp at the end along with the peas. I did not have saffron so I used 1 1/2 packages of SAZON by Goya seasoning especally for paellas. A message to: Maryellen from Malvern, AR. Try the above mentioned seasoning. It is located at any food store in the seasoning section or the GOYA (spanish) section. I only paid $1.29 for a box of 6 seasoning packages.
Really good!

I, too, am irritated about some of the ratings already given. Clearly you have to try the recipe in order to rate it! I bought a small container of saffron for $3.99 and I did not find that to be terribly expensive. But on to the important stuff...this is SO good. I made it for my husband on his birthday and paired it with the Rose Sangria (recipe from Bobby Flay). This was an excellent combination!
Yummy

This recipe is awesome. I saw it on the show and had to make it the next day. My only recommendation would be to add extra black pepper or something to give it just a little heat. It was also great the next day.
Great Flavor

First I'd like to say - Why would you leave a bad rating for a recipe if you havent even made it or because you can't find or afford an ingredient. Anyway, this recipe is easy, fast and full of flavor. I used 3 shakes of Tumeric instead of saffron to get the yellow color. I also used a pre-roasted chicken. I did fry it a little, skin on, just to get the flavor of it in the pan. Then deboned it and added the meat as per recipe. Used Arborio rice. Leftovers even better.

In the show Paula mentioned that you could use mexican chorizo in place of spanish chorizo, however this is not true.Mexican chorizo crumbles when cooked.Paula please do your research before making suggestions, you will ruin someones dish.

I went to many stores looking for saffron. It is expensive!!! I cook for my husband and I. I do not want have to use an ingredient that is so expensive. Please create reciepts that the common folk can afford. I asked if there was a something else I could use in place of saffron. No one knew so can you use something less expensive instead of saffron? Help!
Wow wow wow

my family ABSOLUTELY loved this! My grandaughter, who usually pushes new stuff around on her plate, asked for more. This recipe was quick, easy and sooooo tasty. What amazed me was the yummy flavors that came through with so little added spice. I guess all the flavor from the sausage really soaks in. It cooked perfectly, just as Paula says. You do need a deep, large pan to make it in though. This is a permanent addition to my recipe book. Try this one, you won't be disappointed. Oh, and if this is a recipe for six they must be HUGE eaters. I would say more like eight to ten people.
Very tasty

I made this over the weekend and my family loved it. I substituted 1/2 cup of white wine for the 1/2 cup of stock. It gave it a nice flavor. I also added a few chili flakes, not too many, just to add a little kick. It makes enough for leftovers so I am glad I will have some for lunch at work today. Everyone will be jealous!

I saw the recipe on tv and tried it the same day. The chicken was so tender and the rice with the other ingredients was out of this world.

This dish was not only E-A-S-Y but absolutely mouthwatering delicious! It was just spicey enough to tingle but not too hot! One could really enjoy the flavors this dish offers. You really need to come to the table hungry for this one. And even after I ate and found myself wanting just one more taste!
freaking fab!!!!!
