If you don't mind Spanish food and seafood, I suggest Chicken-Seafood Paella.
Yields: 8 main-dish servings
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
*1 teaspoon olive oil
*1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2 inch pieces
*2 chorizo sausages (3 oz. each)
*1 medium onion, finely chopped
*1 red pepper, finely chopped
*2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
*1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
*1/2 cup canned tomatoes in puree
*1/2 cup dry white wine (The alcohol will burn away, this is mainly for flavor.)
*4 ounces green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
*2 cups medium grain rice
*2 1/2 cups water
*1 can (14 to 14 1/2 ounces) chicken broth (1 3/4 cups)
*1 1/2 teaspoon salt
*1/4 teaspoon loosely packed saffron threads, crumbled
*1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
*1/2 bay leaf
*1 pound mussels, scrubbed & debearded
*12 pounds medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
*1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
*Lemon wedges
Directions:
1. In deep nonreactive 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium high heat until very hot. Add chicken & chorizo; cook until browned, about 10 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer chicken and chorizo to bowl.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and red pepper to skillet; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ground red pepper; cook 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with their puree and wine; cook, breaking up tomatoes with side of spoon, until liquid has evaporated.
3. Stir green beans, rice, water, broth, salt, saffron, thyme, and bay leaf into skillet. Thinly slice chorizo; return chorizo and chicken to skillet. Heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes.
4. Tuck mussels into paella; cover and cook 3 minutes. Tuck shrimp into paella; cover and cook just until mussels have opened and shrimp are opaque throughout, about 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf and any mussels that have not opened. Sprinkle paella with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
