Ingredients
- 1/2 pound chicken tenders, cut into quarters
- 1/2 pound fresh fish, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/2 pound jumbo sea scallops, fresh
- 1/2 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 teaspoons Creole seasoning
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 ounces chorizo, diced
- 6 fresh mussels
- 4 tablespoons green peas
- 4 cups yellow rice, cooked
- Fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Directions
Season the chicken and seafood with Creole seasoning in separate small bowls and toss to evenly coat. Place the olive oil in a saute pan and heat the oil until hot. Add the chicken and cook it for 30 seconds. Add the fish, scallops, and shrimp and saute the seafood and chicken until partially cooked. Add the chicken stock, chorizo, and the mussels and cook them until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green peas and cooked hot yellow rice and stir the ingredients to evenly mix. Continue to cook and stir the paella until all the chicken stock is absorbed into the rice. Place it on a serving platter and garnish paella with fresh cilantro sprigs.

Absolutely delicious and surprisingly easy..I diced an onion and added 2 cloves of chopped garlic- used chorizo, shrimp and chicken breast chopped up with cajun spices- and a package of yellow rice that was already seasoned and it was great. It definitely is a dish I will double or triple and serve to company.

We were stuck in a dinner rut and this definitely kicked us out it with some Cajun flair! Very good and easy. I toned down the spice and served it on the side for my kids. My youngest is two and was shoveling the rice and chicken in his mouth.

Always stop at Bahama Breeze in Las Vegas when we're there. We went again Christmas Eve 2010 and I ordered their paella. Their food is always great, but this dish was incredibly tasty and wonderful -- my family members kept helping themselves to fork-fulls of my plate it was so good! What a delightful surprise to come home to AZ, look up a recipe to hopefully get close to their perfection, and to find you actually have their recipe. Thanks!
