Preparation Steps
- To a large skillet or paella pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, onion, and pepper, and sauté until vegetables soften and lightly caramelize, about 5 to 8 minutes; stir intermittently.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute; stir intermittently. Remove the sofrito from the pan and set aside.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook until about 50% done; remove and set aside with sofrito.
- Add Bomba rice and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often to toast the rice.
- In the chicken broth, stir in the Paellero packet and add to the rice.
- Return chicken and sofrito to the pan, add tomatoes, water, and simmer on medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes until rice is tender, chicken is cooked through, and liquid is absorbed.
- Add peas and parsley, stir, and cook for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
