Chicken Paella Thingy


So much for my promise to not leave it too long before posting! 
If I still have any readers left, then thank you for your patience.

To ease me back into blogging here is a quick, simple recipe which uses up left-over chicken and other bits and pieces that you may have lurking in the back of your fridge.

Left-over chicken - I use about 8oz for 4 people
Couple of rashers smoked bacon or handful of lardons
Chopped onion
Any or all of the following: mushrooms, peppers, sweetcorn & peas
Tin chopped tomatoes
Chicken stock
Basmati rice
Smoked paprika
Salt & pepper
Garlic
Dash of soy sauce

 

Start by frying the onion, garlic and bacon. 
Add the tomatoes, paprika (we use loads), soy sauce and seasoning.
Then add the chicken and rice.
Add enough stock to cook the rice - we measure our rice by the mug: two mugs of rice to four mugs of liquid is enough for the four of us.
Add the vegetables - straight away if you like them well cooked or just at the end if you prefer a little more al dente.

In the unlikely event of any being left, I have it cold for lunch the next day.
