Simple Chicken and Sausage Paella image

This is it, my first recipe. I've been making this "Paella" for years. It's my husband's favourite. It tastes so good, everyone is always surprised when they hear it was cooked in the Microwave. Adapted from The Canadian Living Cooking Collection Series.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 lb hot Italian sausage, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup long-grain rice
14 ounces canned tomatoes, chopped (homemade is better)
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (we love spicy foods)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, remove all visible fat and cut into 1 inch cubes
salt and pepper
1 green onion, chopped diagonally

Steps:

  • Using a 12 cup microwaveable dish, combine chopped sausages, onions, green pepper and garlic. Microwave uncovered at a High setting for approximately 4 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Stir halfway.
  • Add long-grain rice, chopped tomatoes, chicken stock, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Stir and cover. Microwave at a High setting for approximately 8 to 10 minutes until boiling. Stir and cover. Microwave at a Medium setting for another 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and cover. Microwave at a Medium setting for approximately 7 to 9 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Let stand covered for another 5 minutes.
  • Serve with chopped green onions.
