Paella is a typical Spanish dish that's bursting with flavor, and this recipe, sent to us by Naylet in Miami, is no exception. Smoky chorizo sausage and flavorful paprika make this recipe so good, we understand why she said to us, "My Mother-In-Law's Paella is the most delicious paella!"
What You'll Need

- 1/2 pound chorizo sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 cup chicken broth, plus more as needed

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 8 cup yellow rice or long-grain white rice, cooked according to package directions
What to Do
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat, heat olive oil. Add sausage; cook until browned on both sides. Transfer to a plate.
