Recipe of the Week – Chicken Paella

(From the Chicken Entrée Collection at emealsforyou.com)
After a busy Saturday with the kids and their kids; Sunday was a day of rest. Taking it slow and easy was the best way to recoup our energy and have some us time. When it came to discussing dinner we both settled on a Chicken Paella; although there were just the two of us. It came out perfectly, once again cooked on the grill. We tried our best but there was still a ton left over to freeze and resurface sometime later when we don’t feel like cooking.
I made a pitcher of sangria to go with the paella but was “forced” to drink it myself as my better half went with straight wine. Give this paella a try when you have some people over and want something that is as interesting to watch it cook as it is good to eat. We did manage to finish the Ada’s Butterscotch Pie that was left over from the night before.
