  • 1

    In a bowl mix the cut chicken with half the olive oil, 1tsp paprika and a good seasoning of salt & pepper. Set aside.

    Heat the remaining oil in a paella or medium to large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and gently fry until brown all over. Remove and set aside on a plate.

  • 3

    Add the prawns to the hot pan and sear (in their shells if using) until pink. Remove from the pan and set aside with the chicken.

  • 4

    Add the rice to the pan, stir and gently toast for 30 seconds, taking care not to burn. Pour in the sherry and bubble for a minute. Pour in the jar of Sofrito, bubble for a minute, before pouring in the jar of Seafood Stock. Stir gently , reduce the heat and simmer uncovered without stirring for 12 minutes (if it looks like it's drying out simply add a splash of water).

  • 5

    Add back in the chicken and prawns and cook uncovered for a further 5 minutes. If using throw in the clams, a final splash of water if needed and cook covered for a further 1-2 minutes.
