#WFD – Cooked-in-a-Bag Paella with Chicken and Peas
Bake at 180°C for 50 minutes on the lowest shelf in the oven. Ensure that the grill is off at all times
POLOKWANE – Paella is a Spanish rice dish consisting of white rice, green beans (bajoqueta and tavella), meat (chicken, duck and rabbit), white beans (garrofón), snails, and seasoning such as saffron and rosemary. Another very common but seasonal ingredient is artichokes.
What’s for Dinner says this dish is inspired by Spanish flavours and is easy to prepare by using the Knorr Cook-in-Bag.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs
- 250ml basmati rice
- 5 sundried tomatoes in oil, roughly chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 x KNORR Cook-In-Bag Spicy Roast Chicken
- 125ml white wine
- 375ml water
Method
- No need to preheat oven.
- Place chicken thighs into the roasting bag with the basmati rice, sundried tomatoes, frozen peas, white wine and water. Close bag at end with blue tie supplied.
- Very gently massage KNORR mixture into the chicken on a stable surface. Ensure dry mixture is spread evenly.
- Place bag sideways in a cool oven dish, ensuring pieces are evenly spaced.
- Bake at 180°C for 50 minutes on the lowest shelf in the oven. Ensure that the grill is off at all times. Keep enough room for the bag to expand (bag must not touch the sides of the oven).
- Cut the bag open and transfer to a serving dish with any sauce that is in the bag.
