Preparation Steps
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or paella pan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, sauté until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5-8 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the sofrito (vegetables and garlic) from pan and set aside.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook until about 50% cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Add bomba rice to the pan and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes to toast the rice.
- Pour chicken broth into a bowl containing the Paellero seasoning, stir to combine, then add to the rice. Stir to distribute evenly.
- Return the cooked sofrito and chicken to the pan. Add diced tomatoes and water. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in frozen peas and minced parsley, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
- Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
