1. Heat a oil in large heated deep skillet or paella pan over medium-high heat.

3. Add rice, diced tomatoes, tomato paste and saffron to sauté for another minute.
4. Add chicken broth and bring to boil.
5. Once boiling, lay chicken and shrimp on top then cover the pan (if you’re using a paella pan without a lid, you can use aluminum foil to cover), reduce heat to low.
