From the sw calendar July page.

Syns per serving: 2.5 Syns on Extra Easy plan
Serves 6

Ingredients:
Fry light
salt & pepper
11 oz/312g skinless & boneless chicken thighs, cut into pieces
1 large onion, roughly chopped
1 red pepper & 1 yellow pepper, roughly chopped
3 1/2 oz/100g chorizo sausage, cut into small pieces
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp sweet smoked paprika
a large pinch of saffron threads
7 oz/198g tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 1/4 pt/994ml chicken or vegetable stock
13 oz/369g paella rice
8 large raw tiger prawns, shells on
2 1/2 oz/71g fresh or frozen peas
1 lemon, cut into wedges
A handful of fresh parsley

Method:
Spray a pan with frylight & place over a high heat. Season the chicken, add to the pan & stir fry for 5-6 minutes, our until sealed & lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan & set aside.
Add the onion, peppers & chorizo to the pan & stir fry over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes. Then add the garlic, paprika & saffron & cook for another minute. Return the chicken to the pan along with the tomatoes, stock & seasoning. Bring to a simmer & cook, uncovered for 10 minutes.
Stir in the rice. Bring to the boil. Give a final stir & simmer, still uncovered for about 10 minutes. Add the prawns & peas to the pan & continue to simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice cooked, adding a little more hot stock if needed. Turn the prawns over halfway through the cooking time (they will turn pink when cooked). Remove the pan from the heat & cover with a clean towel for 5-10 minutes to absorb some of the steam. Garnish the paella with lemon wedges & scatter with fresh parsley.


Thats the recipe, I used way more prawns I just used frozen uncooked king prawns Sainsburys have them on offer at the mo.

We also had green beans and steamed baby courgettes but they were not done on time. My getting to target first meal too I made it before weigh in so I wouldnt hit a takeaway.:clap:

The slices fell apart and were delicious but crumbly and these were the only two that stayed for a moment
