    Chicken Paella, This is a very wonderful and tasty chicken and rice dish, everything is cooked in one skillet, so it is quite easy to make , We’ve just returned from a trip to Spain and I wanted to make a chicken paella dish similar to those we had loved there This recipe was quite wonderful I made it with boneless skinless chicken breasts and used Spanish olives The only change I made to this recipe was that I added a few shakes of turmeric to give it that traditional yellowish tinge (in Spain, they use saffron) Definitely a keeper my husband and I loved it!
