Directions
- Heat the olive oil over a medium heat and sauté the onions until golden. Add the garlic and tomatoes and cook for another minute. Add the smoked paprika and saffron and allow to infuse for 5 minutes.
- Pour the Arborio rice into the pan and toast slightly. Add the chicken stock mixed with the piri-piri sauce and leave to simmer, until most of the liquid has been absorbed, but the rice is not dry. Do not stir the rice, as you want a crusty layer to form on the bottom of the pan.
- While the paella is cooking, heat the canola oil over a medium heat. Add the chicken to the pan to brown, then remove and cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
- To serve, place the chicken thighs and roasted red pepper in paella. Scatter over the parsley and squeeze over lots of fresh lime.

I'd throw in a few green olives & some green peas if I want to call it "paella;" deglaze the chicken with some white wine or vino verde, too.
