Instructions to make Chicken and Seafood Paella:
  1. Light BBQ, once the flames have died down add a 15 inch paella pan to the grill, add the chopped chorizo and stir until starting to brown (2-3 minutes) remove from pan and set aside.
  2. Add additional oil if needed, add the diced chicken and sear until golden brown (about 6 minutes). Remove and add to chorizo.
  3. Add the onion and season it generously with sea salt and black pepper. Cook and stir until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. Add the garlic, paprika and saffron and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  5. Add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook until darkened (about 3 minutes). Add the rice and stir to coat.
