Easy Paella

The list of ingredients in this dish is rather daunting, but not to worry it's relatively easy.  I do not own a wok or a Paella pan.  I used my electric fry pan, worked just fine!  Some like to add mussels and or lobster tails.  The saffron is pricey enough, I opted to use shrimp only and it was still fabulous.  To make the Paella you will need:
4 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
1 medium onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 red bell pepper chopped
1 package chicken tenders, cubed
2 hot Italian sausages
2 boil in bags, bags of basmati rice
3 cups of chicken stock
1 cup of white wine
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 big pinch of saffron
salt and pepper to taste
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined






1.)  Heat the olive oil over medium heat.  Add the sausages to brown the outside.  Once browned, remove from the pan and cut into rounds. 
2.)  Add the onions, the garlic and the bell pepper.  Cook for 3-5 minutes.  Add the chicken and the sausage.  Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.  Add the
rice and cook for another few minutes.  Add 1/2 cup of the wine and let it absorb.
3.)  Stir in the other 1/2 cup of wine, the chicken stock, the thyme, and the saffron.  Add some salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
4.)  Check the rice for doneness.  You can add more stock if the rice is not soft 1/2 cup at a time.  Quality check for salt and pepper also.
5.)  Layer in the tomatoes, peas and shrimp.  Cover and let it heat through on low for about another 5 minutes.
