Chicken Paella

A Spanish dish from the Valencia region, paella is named for the cooking vessel itself: a round, shallow pan made of carbon steel that heats quickly and evenly. A good paella pan helps develop the soarant, or crispy layer of rice crust on the bottom that's the most prized part of the dish.
