Ingredients

chicken drumsticks
4 piece
rice
2 cup
artichoke hearts
4 piece
green beans
80 g
garlic
2 head
tomato sauce
250 ml
olive oil
2 tbsp
saffron
0.5 tsp
salt
10 g
warm water
3 cup

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a wide skillet or paella pan over medium heat. Add the chicken drumsticks and garlic, then cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides and the garlic is fragrant. Add the green beans and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir in the artichoke hearts and tomato sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the tomato sauce slightly reduces and coats the chicken and vegetables.

Pour in the warm water, then add the rice, saffron, and salt. Stir once to distribute everything evenly, then simmer over medium-low heat until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes.
