Seafood and chicken paella. I have a romantic dish for you today. At least I think it's romantic because this isn't something you'd make every day. Why not use chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of boneless cooked pieces that should be sauteed and then cooked with the rice and its liquid to add flavor, as would sauteing finely chopped onions and red pepper strips to add color and flavor.
Originating in Valencia, this dish of rice with seafood and chicken or rabbit is completely addictive.
The Valencians get very heated about what can and cannot go into a paella, and would probably snarl at this recipe.
Next, add the remaining seafood and chicken broth to the saffron water.

It's a bit of mary montaña—or surf and turf—as they say in Spain. A traditional paella pan, a long wooden spoon or paddle, and a barbecue or gas burner are needed to prepare this seafood paella. Paella is one of my favorite dishes to cook when entertaining. Not only is it delicious but it's a one-pot dish which makes for simple preparation and easy clean-up. A wonderful Spanish Paella that's very easy to make and the presentation is great as well.
