Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
2 1/2 cups chopped red onions (about 2 medium)
1 ounce finely chopped smoked ham (scant 1/4 cup)
4 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 1 1/2 tablespoons dried
3 large bay leaves
8 ounces skinless boneless chicken thighs, fat trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 cups frozen baby lima beans (about 1 pound)
1 16-ounce can Italian-style tomatoes, cut into pieces, juices reserved

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 1/2 cups chopped red onions, 1 ounce finely chopped smoked ham, 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme and bay leaves and sauté until onions are tender and golden, about 8 minutes. Add chicken pieces, 3 cups baby lima beans, Italian-style tomatoes with their juices and minced garlic cloves and bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until chicken pieces are cooked through and lima beans are tender, about 25 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper.

This paella was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I think next time I'll add more spices.

This paella was a great way to use up some leftover lima beans. It was easy to make and very flavorful.

I thought the lima beans were a bit too mushy, but the rest of the paella was very good.

This paella was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I think next time I'll use less salt and add more vegetables.

I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe. I'm not usually a fan of lima beans, but they were cooked perfectly in this dish. The paella was also very flavorful and easy to make.

This lima bean paella was a hit! The flavors were incredible, and the lima beans added a nice textural contrast. I will definitely be making this again.
