This dish was SO easy! (I was even able to make it one night for supper when I was sick!) The only change I made was I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and baked them first. This is a beautiful, delicious, super easy one-dish-meal. I had just viewed a paella show on Food Network, and this dish looked much better than theirs did! I cannot imagine anyone not really enjoying it!<br/>UPDATE: None of us eat meat now, and I am thrilled to say that my children are all making this with Quorn!(a substitute chicken product that is awesome) They are all just loving this!
