Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, parsley, and red chili powder. Set aside to marinade for at least 15 minutes.
2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and sear until golden brown. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3
In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and diced bell peppers. Cook until softened.
4
Stir in the minced garlic until fragrant, followed by the crushed saffron threads and turmeric.
5
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir, coating the rice with the spices.
6
Pour in the chicken broth gradually, stirring after each addition. Wait until each addition of broth is mostly absorbed before adding the next.
7
Return the chicken to the skillet, cover and simmer until the rice is tender.
8
Stir in the cooked shrimp and halved grape tomatoes. Cook until the shrimp is heated through.
9
Serve the paella with fresh lemon wedges on the side for guests to squeeze over their portions as desired.
