Easy Chicken Paella


Ingredients (serves 2):
* 1 carrot
* 1 onion
* 2 celery sticks
* 2 chicken breasts
* 150g rice
* 350g chopped tomatoes
* 300ml chicken stock
* 100g frozen peas
* 1/2 lemon
* 1/2 tsp turmeric
* 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
* 1 tbsp parsley
* salt, pepper, vegetable oil

Instructions:

Dice up your onion, carrot and celery into equally sized chunks. Throw into a saucepan with some vegetable oil, fry off until a little soften. Add diced up chicken breast and continue to stir through until chicken is cooked.

Mix in your rice and stir through, covering all the veg and chicken. Combine this with your chicken stock and chopped tomatoes, mix all together and leave to simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes. Remember to stir occasionally to make sure the rice doesn't stick to bottom of the saucepan. Throw in your frozen peas, stir them through the dish.

Finish the dish with your turmeric, parsley and chili flakes. One final mix through with some salt and pepper then leave to simmer for a further 5 mins, then serve up with a slice of lemon on the side.
