2/3 cup olive oil
4 teaspoons oregano
4 teaspoons dry basil
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 whole boneless chicken breasts, skinned and cut in bite-size pieces (1 lb.)
12 large shrimp
3 chorizo sausage, in small pieces (3 oz.)
2 large yellow onions, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
2 cups rice
3 cups hot chicken broth

Add broth, tomatoes, saffron, coriander, chicken and sausage; boil, cover, heat and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until rice is tender.
Add peas and scallops; toss gently.

Drain shrimp; push into rice mixture along with clams.
Bake, covered, in 350 degrees oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and clams open.
