Paella began as a peasant dish of rice with onions, snails, and beans.  On special occasions other fishes or meats were added.  Feel free to add the fishes and meats you prefer.

1.   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2.   Chop onion and mince garlic.
3.    Cut pepper into strips and chop tomato.
4.     Slice sausage into ½ inch rounds.  Spray fry pan with vegetable spray and add 1 tsp of olive oil and fry briefly.  Drain on paper towel.
5.    Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and cut each thigh in two.
6.   In the skillet, heat ¼ cup olive oil over medium high heat.  Add chicken and brown, turning with tongs to brown evenly (it should not be completely done since it will also go into the oven)   and remove chicken to a plate.
7.   Add remaining ¼ cup of olive oil to skillet and sauté onions, pepper strips, and tomato, over medium heat until vegetables have softened.  Add garlic and sausage and cook briefly.
10.  In a 14 inch casserole or paella pan, combine onion/pepper mixture, rice, peas if desired and saffron.  Pour in 3 cups boiling broth stirring constantly.
11.  Arrange meats and seafood on rice and scatter peas.  Do not stir again once arranged.  Set pan on the bottom rack in the oven and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
12.  Remove paella when done,, cover, and let rest for 5 minutes.  Garnish with lemon.
