Directions

Dust the chicken with rice or potato flour. In a large non-stick skillet, add the vegetable oil and place over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on all sides, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Cook the onions and garlic over medium-high heat for 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the sausage and cook for 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in the red and green peppers, cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, basil, oregano, bay leaf, saffron, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is almost tender. Add the shrimp, mussels and reserved chicken to the sausage mixture. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 5 minutes, covered, or until the rice is soft and the mussels have opened. If the rice begins to stick to the bottom, add another 125 ml (½ cup) stock. Discard the bay leaf and any mussels that do not open. Distribute evenly among large individual bowls, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
