If you need to get the kids dinner on the table quickly, try my Easy 10 Minute Paella
Cooking for the kids midweek can be hectic. Even with the best meal planning and organization, you can still stare into the fridge at night wondering what on earth to make for the kids!
On days like these, I have some super easy 10 minute meals that I rely on to make dinner in no time.
Here’s the first… my quick 10 minute paella.
Now I know this isn’t authentic paella so I hope I don’t offend the entire Spanish population but for a quick and easy dinner for the kids it’s perfect.
I use a lot of frozen ingredients to reduce the time it takes to chop.
My favorite are frozen onions, garlic and chorizo.
Fry them in some oil for a minute.
Then add some frozen peas, cooked chicken, a packet of microwave rice and some smoked paprika powder.
Add a few tablespoons of water to fluff up the rice.
The rice does not need to be cooked.
There is no need to microwave the rice first. It will cook in the pan.
And that’s it. 5 minutes cooking time and you are ready to serve.
I add some chopped veggies like carrots, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes.
