Paella with Chicken, Leeks & Tarragon
Ingredients
Traditional paella is made with rice, vegetables, and meat and also contains beans and saffron. This one uses peas and tarragon in place of the beans and saffron. It might be a stretch to call it paella, but it's no stretch to call it delicious.

1 onion, sliced
2 leeks (whites only), thinly sliced

1 red pepper, sliced
