Steps to make Chicken and Seafood Paella:

- Add additional oil if needed, add the diced chicken and sear until golden brown (about 6 minutes). Remove and add to chorizo.
- Add the onion and season it generously with sea salt and black pepper. Cook and stir until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the garlic, paprika and saffron and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook until darkened (about 3 minutes). Add the rice and stir to coat.

- Close the lid and simmer for about 12 minutes, rotate the pan occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly. The rice should start making a crackling sound. Most of the liquid should be absorbed.
- Arrange the seafood in the rice, nestling them slightly. Close the grill and cook for a further 10 minutes.
