Method

Hide images
step 1
Add the concentrated chicken stock (90 g) to a jug and top up with 750ml of boiling water.
step 2
Heat a large skillet or frying pan (at least 30cm) over medium-high heat. Add a glug of olive oil and the chicken thighs (500 g). Leave to cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
step 3
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Add the onion (1 bag) and garlic (3 cloves) and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the onion is soft.
step 4
Add the paprika (1 tsp) and the grated tomato pulp (1). Fry for 2 minutes, then stir in the white beans (1 jar) and green beans (200 g), followed by the stock and saffron (1 pinch). Add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
step 5
Add the rice (320 g) and lightly stir to coat in the stock mixture. Top with the chicken pieces, pushing them down into the rice.
step 6
Simmer for 6 minutes over medium-high heat, but don’t stir. Reduce the heat to low and leave to cook for 15 minutes, until the stock mixture has been absorbed.
step 7
Turn off the heat and cover with a clean tea towel to absorb any remaining steam and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
step 8
Serve with a dollop of aioli (to taste) and an extra sprinkling of paprika.
