List of Ingredients
1/2 cup (4 fl. oz) olive oil
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
1 large onion, chopped fine
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups (12 oz) rice
2 cups (8 oz) broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces

1/4 teaspoon powdered saffron
8 oz uncooked shrimp
14 oz canned asparagus tips
Salt and pepper, to taste
3/4 cup (2 1/2) grated Manchego cheese Recipe
Heat the oil in a paella pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and transfer to a dish.
Add the onion and garlic to the paella pan, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the rice, broccoli, both saffron, shrimp, and cooked chicken.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for a further 20 minutes.
Mix in the asparagus tips and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the chicken and rice are tender and the broth has been absorbed.
Remove the pan from the heat, sprinkle with the Manchego cheese, and serve.
***With its distinctive, sharp flavor, Manchego Cheese is the most popular sheep's milk cheese in Spain. As its name suggests, Manchego hails from La Mancha, the stomping ground of Cervantes' Don Quixote****
