LOW-CARB CHICKEN & CHORIZO PAELLA
I was in Spain this summer and went low-carb upon my return. I was craving the Paella I made in a cooking class in Barcelona.For this recipe, I used chicken & Chorizo instead of the seafood and made "rice" out of cauliflower. I am thrilled with out well it turned out! As with all Paella recipes, it is the patient "layering" of flavors that makes it so yummy.

Steps:
- Brown chorizo until crispy. Remove with slotted spoon leaving fat in the pan. Toss chicken with paprika, cumin, salt, & pepper. Cook in chicken in chorizo fat until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside with chorizo.
- Add onion and pepper, cook until tender. Add tomatoes and garlic and continue cooking, scraping up brown bits as they form. Salt & pepper to taste.
- This mixture will begin to look brown and thick, (this is important for flavor) - add chicken broth and saffron and continue stirring until liquid is reduced and thickened slightly. Add chorizo, chicken & cauliflower. Cook until cauliflower just tender - about 5 minutes.
