Instructions
1
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Dice the bell peppers, onion, and tomato.
2
In a large pan or paella pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
3
In the same pan, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Add the diced bell peppers and cook for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir in the paprika powder and cook for 30 seconds to release its flavor.
5
Add the diced tomato and cook for 2-3 minutes until it breaks down slightly. Return the chicken to the pan and stir to combine.
6
Add the vermicelli noodles to the pan and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden.
7
Pour in the chicken broth, add the saffron threads, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
8
Remove from heat, cover with a clean towel, and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
