This was my first time attempting a paella & I was looking for one with no seafood being I have a one year old and a husband who doesnt eat seafood. It was perfect. Not hard to cook at all though a little time consuming but well worht it. I also used the packet of sazon & felt it did the job. Thank you Paula for another great meal!

The only change I made was I used a package of yellow spanish rice instead of buying saffron. Turned out great!

Well, those people that rated this very low obvoiusly either substituted ingredients, left something out or can't cook! Not only was this delicous but very easy too! I agree with the person who suggested NOT to substitute the chorizo with mexican chorizo! The smoky flavor of the spanish style chorizo made the dish! I added a couple of dashes of Cholulo hot sauce on my serving to 'kick it up an notch' and really set the flavors off!! I can't wait to eat the leftovers!

This was SOOOO GOOD! I'm an ok cook but don't do good with complicated recipes that require alot. This was super easy & turned out wonderful! I used tomatoes WITH juice & it gave great flavor, we squeezed lemon on top before eating, and instead of leaving the chicken whole I shredded it up after cooking, it was much easier to eat that way! As for the Chorizo, I got it at Walmart, its links but VERY soft, just cut small chunks, form it into a slice or meatball type & add in with the broth, cooked just fine! Great recipe Paula we LOVED IT!!!

I have to say, this dish impressed me. Like others, I substituted a few things because I had them on hand, but it was the same for the most part. I've made it several times since and everyone that has tried has wanted the recipe.

Very good, 2 thumbs up. I did not have peas in the house so I added some green spanish olives with pimentos in them ,gave it a nice flavor. Was easy to make, did not take long at all and very tasty.

I made this for dinner tonight and my husband promptly told me it was bland, and my 4 yr old twins wouldn't touch it. Yes, I'm bummed out. However, my kids often snub their noses at anything new, so take that with a grain of salt. Maybe the bad review was my fault as I used andouille sausage links instead of chorizo because I had it on hand. I used 1 packed of the Goya Sazon. Maybe I should have used 1 1/2 packets to boost the flavors along with some hot sauce or red pepper flakes. The chicken was moist and tender and the recipe is easy to pull together and makes a lot.

MY WIFE AND I TRIED PAULA'S RECIPE AND IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME EVER ATTEMPT ON PAELLA. IT TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD. WE HAD A HARD TIME FINDING THE CHORIZO SAUSAGE LINKS AND I'M NOT SURE WE GOT IT RIGHT. WHEN WE OPENED THE PACKAGE, THE LINKS WERE SOFT AND MUSHY. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CUT ON THE BIAS PER THE RECIPE. THE CHORIZO SAUSAGE LINKS ENDED UP FALLING APART IN THE PAELLA. NOT SURE WE GOT THE RIGHT TYPE OF CHORIZO SAUSAGE. WE FOUND THE SAFFRON THREADS BUT IT WAY TOO EXPENSIVE SO WE LEFT IT OUT. THE FLAVOR ENDED UP VERY GOOD AND SPICY. THE COLOR AND TEXTURE WAS PERFECT ACCORDING TO OUR TASTES.

I've never been much of a cook; so, I wasn't quite sure how this recipe was going to turn out when I started it. I manage to get every ingrediant (with the exception of the the saffron and the chorizo. The chorizo, I substituted with Hilshire Farms smoked sausage. I bought turmeric as a replacement for the saffron because I heard from reviews on various sites that that's a decent substitute if you don't want to spend that kind of money. (A little spice bottle of saffron cost $18_and it doesn't come close to filling the bottle. I didn't end up using the sausage but not the turmeric. Can I just say that this recipe was very easy and right on point with everything. It tasted just like it came from an excellent spanish restaurant (and that's not me tooting my own horn because if you ask my husband, he'll tell you that's the gospel truth! Now, HE'S the cook in the family! I made this for him & his mom. He was so impressed, he demanded I make this same recipe every week for him! LOL. His mom definitely enjoyed it, as well as she asked what it was and for the recipe. Then Paula! You're a cooking GODDESS!
