Prep Time: 30 minutes
Slow Cooker: 7 hours
Total Time: 30 minutes
Adjust Servings: 6
Calories: 540kcal
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs or breast, cut into pieces
- 1 T. oil
- 8 oz. cooked smoked turkey sausage, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 1 large onion sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1/8 tsp. saffron or 1/4 tsp. turmeric, ground
- 14.5 oz. reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 c. water
- 2 c. tomatoes chopped
- 2 yellow or green peppers cut into thin bite-sized pieces
- 1 c. frozen peas
- 1/2 c. green olives drained
- Cooked Spanish rice like bomba or arborio
Instructions
- Optional first step: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken pieces. (it may take a few batches) Place browned chicken on a paper towel to drain the fat.
- Put chicken pieces, turkey sausage and onion in a 4-5 quart slow cooker.
- Season meat and onion with garlic, thyme, black pepper, and saffron or turmeric.
- Combine broth and water together and pour over the mixture in the slow cooker.
- Cover & Crock on Low for 7 hours
- Give yourself enough time to prepare rice as directed on the package to have it ready when done, so you can serve the paella over hot rice. I like Matiz Paella Rice
- After the cooking time is complete, stir in tomatoes, sweet peppers, peas, thyme and (optional) green olives.
- Cover and keep on Low for 15 more minutes. Serve over prepared rice.
