No need to stir the rice. Shocking, right? (We apologize in advance to the purists!)

Directions

Chicken

  1. With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Season with pepper.
  3. Spread out on a non-stick sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is starting to brown.

Rice

  1. Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring the broth, wine and saffron to a boil. Add the rice. Season with salt. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes or until the rice is al dente and has absorbed almost all of the liquid, stirring often.
  2. Toss the rice with the chicken on the sheet pan. Using a spatula, spread out in an even layer. Top with the green peas.

Shrimp

  1. In another bowl, toss the shrimp with the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread over the rice on the sheet pan.
  2. Bake for 10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through. Garnish with lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
