Method
Step by step
- 01
Optional first step: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken pieces. (it may take a few batches) Place browned chicken on a paper towel to drain the fat.
- 02
Put chicken pieces, turkey sausage and onion in a 4-5 quart slow cooker.
- 03
Season meat and onion with garlic, thyme, black pepper, and saffron or turmeric.
- 04
Combine broth and water together and pour over the mixture in the slow cooker.
- 05
Cover & Crock on Low for 7 hours
- 06
Give yourself enough time to prepare rice as directed on the package to have it ready when done, so you can serve the paella over hot rice. I like Matiz Paella Rice
- 07
After the cooking time is complete, stir in tomatoes, sweet peppers, peas, thyme and (optional) green olives.
- 08
Cover and keep on Low for 15 more minutes. Serve over prepared rice.
