Hi Martha, I’m glad you liked it! I was shocked that every one of my three kids liked it. The two younger ones usually won’t eat chicken I prepare — only chicken nuggets. So I was shocked when they loved this.

My microwave is pretty powerful, anything more than 4 minutes is too much. Isn’t it a good idea to use it though? Because the potatoes come out much better than if you just tried to cook them in the pan.

I made this last night — very good! The best part was that my incredibly picky 10 year old ate a lot, said it was great, and asked me to make it again. I had to cook the potatoes 7 minutes in the microwave, but perhaps that was just my microwave…

Thanks!

I have the All-Clad 13″ paella pan which we use for pretty much everything. It really does heat as evenly as they say it does. I was lucky enough to get it when I was working at a kitchen store a decade ago, and because All-Clad used to be made locally, I’ve picked more pieces over the years at their factory seconds sales. That being said, it’s easily worth its full price.

And the recipe itself sounds fantastic!

Our stove is pretty good, not commercial quality or anything. Supposedly the all-clad is so good at conducting heat that the entire pan gets hot. I’m not ready to shell out for it yet, but I’m certainly tempted.

Electric wok is a good thought though.

The problem with 13″ skillets (I’ve got the Lodge cast-iron myself - https://secure.lodgemfg.com/storefront/product1.asp?menu=logic&idProduct=3924 - is that unless you have a heck of a good stove you can’t get an even heat under them. For a large quantity, I might try a good electric wok.
