Preparation
Put the paella pan onto the barbecue and add a dash of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan and fry until golden all over - this may need to be done in batches.
Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm in a low oven, or wrapped in foil on the cool side of the barbecue.
Add the onion, pepper and chorizo to the pan and fry for a few minutes, then add the garlic and paprika and cook for a further 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the wine and allow to reduce by two thirds.
Pour the stock and tomatoes into the pan and stir, then cover and leave to cook for 10 - 12 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan again and return to the low oven or foil parcel. Pour in the rice, stir once and leave to cook for a further 15 minutes, shaking the pan every now and then.
Return the chicken to the pan, adding a little more stock or water if required, and cook for a further 8 - 10 minutes, until the rice is cooked through with a little bit of bite.
Meanwhile, slice the lemon in half and slice one of the halves into wedges. Juice the remaining half and set aside until required.
Add the prawns and peas to the pan, cover and cook until everything is piping hot. Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley and lemon juice and season to taste.
Serve in the centre of the table, or divide evenly between plates and garnish with a wedge of lemon.
