Directions
- Season chicken with 1/2 tablespoon of Tony’s seasoning and coat each piece thoroughly.

- Add oil and then add the seasoned chicken to the skillet skin side down first and then flip to brown on the other side as well, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken from the pan and then add onion, garlic and bell pepper and cook down for 3-5 minutes.
- Add in tomatoes along with the remaining Tony’s seasoning and saffron and cook for another 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
- Add the Tony’s Spanish Rice Dinner Mix, toasting the rice slightly.
- Pour in chicken stock or water and stir to combine all ingredients well. Let cook for 10-15 minutes until rice has absorbed some of the liquid.
- Add in andouille sausage, chicken thighs, clams and shrimp, nestling them into the rice. Cover the skillet and continue to cook for another 10-12 minutes until rice is fully cooked and seafood has been cooked through.
- When rice looks fluffy and done, crank up the heat on the skillet and slightly toast the bottom layer of the rice.
- Squeeze fresh lemon on top of the paella and garnish with fresh parsley and extra Tony’s seasoning.
- Serve from the skillet and enjoy!
