1 cut breast white meat chicken (or rabbit, if you prefer)
5-6 pieces chorizo, roasted
3 cups of precooked saffron rice
1/2 cup chicken stock
1. Heat olive oil until sizzling.
2. Add garlic, onions and peppers; cook until soft enough to adhere to the rice.
3. Add chicken; cook until white on the outside but slightly pink inside (it will finish in the oven).
4. Reduce heat. Add shrimp and scallops; cover with rice.
5. Layer mussels, clams and chorizo atop rice, placing two pieces of lobster (inside down, shell out) on top.
5. Add ½ cup chicken or vegetable stock;* place the entire pan in oven for 20 minutes, checking periodically.
(Saffron rice has saffron, paprika, red peppers and peas. Cook until soft, add desired amount of rice, then add in chicken or vegetable stock.)
*If you prefer crunchy rice on the bottom, use less stock and add olive oil.
