<br>CHEW THE RIGHT THING
<br>
<br>
<br>BITE IT!
<br>HG's Yippee Paella
<br>
<br>Putting the YAY in Paella
<br>
<br>We were SO excited to make over this famous dish. Our Yippee Paella is the kind of recipe you can serve at a dinner party without ANYONE suspecting it's low in fat and calories. No party in the near future? Just make it for yourself and a pal. (Leftovers rock!)
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>8 oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
<br>1/2 tsp. each salt and black pepper, divided
<br>2 cups sliced onions
<br>2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
<br>1 tbsp. chopped garlic
<br>2 cups sliced mushrooms
<br>2 cups chopped tomatoes
<br>1 tsp. ground turmeric
<br>1/2 tsp. paprika
<br>1/4 tsp. ground thyme
<br>1 cup uncooked brown rice
<br>3/4 cup fat-free chicken broth
<br>1 1/2 cups frozen green peas
<br>2 bay leaves
<br>8 oz. raw shrimp, peeled, tails removed, deveined
<br>6 oz. raw scallops, cut into bite-sized pieces
<br>6 oz. raw tilapia (or other flaky white fish), cut into bite-sized pieces
<br>1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
<br>1 tbsp. lemon juice
<br>Optional: lemon wedges, additional salt and black pepper
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>Spray a large pot (with a lid) with nonstick spray and bring to medium-high heat on the stove. Add chicken and season with 1/8 tsp. each salt and black pepper. Stirring occasionally, cook for 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Transfer chicken to a bowl and set aside.
<br>
<br>Remove pot from heat, re-spray, and return to medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Stirring occasionally, cook until softened, about 6 minutes.
<br>
<br>Add mushrooms, tomatoes, turmeric, paprika, thyme, and 1/4 tsp. each salt and black pepper to the pot. Cook until mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
<br>
<br>Add rice and mix well. Add broth, peas, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 35 - 40 minutes, until rice is fully cooked.
<br>
<br>Add all of the seafood, the cooked chicken, and the parsley. Stirring often, cook for 5 minutes, or until seafood is fully cooked.
<br>
<br>Add lemon juice and stir. Remove from heat and re-cover. Let stand for 10 minutes.
<br>
<br>Remove bay leaves. Add remaining 1/8 tsp. each salt and black pepper. If you like, garnish with lemon wedges and season to taste with additional salt and black pepper. Enjoy!
