Slow Cooker Chicken & Seafood Paella
Paella in the slow cooker? Yes! Chicken and seafood are used in this easy and healthy version of paella that cooks in just a couple of hours time.
Of course you can make paella in the slow cooker. As I’ve said before, I believe almost anything can be made in the slow cooker. There are so many different versions of paella out there: seafood, chicken, combo, vegetarian, etc. Everyone has their own version and/or opinion about what makes a real paella. This one is mine. And it uses uncooked rice!

Notes
You can use white or brown rice but I like to use brown. After I uncased my chorizo (I used beef chorizo by the way), I tried to cut it into rounds but that didn’t really work so I just kind of rolled them in to balls with my hands. The seafood goes in at the end but they seafood in general cooks quickly in the slow cooker. Mine always seems to cook in under 10 minutes but standard for seafood is 15-30.
