Paella is one of my favorite dishes to cook when entertaining. Not only is it delicious but it’s a one-pot dish which makes for simple preparation and easy clean-up.
My sister-in-law and her family came to visit from Virginia this summer. I made this paella for them at an early diner party with a green salad on the side. It was a hit, everybody loved it! Even my vegetarian husband couldn’t take his eyes off of it :). Enjoy!

I love the food Erica, but the ingredients are spelled wrong, nothing against you, (my mom spoke only french when I was born, so i've been correcting her english for years now)
"4 chicken tights"
Should be "thighs". I know I know, nit picking, and this dish looks AMAZING and I plan on making it soon. =)
