Put the stock and saffron in a large pan over a high heat and bring to the boil.

Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until just browned,transfer to a plate and set aside.    Reduce the heat and mist the pan with cooking spray again. Add onion, pepper and garlic and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes until softened, then add the rice and paprika. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes and half the saffron infused stock. Bring to a simmer, season to taste, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.                             Return the chicken to the pan with the peas, and half of the remaining stock. Cook for a further 10 minutes, adding more of the remaining stock if it seems too dry. Check that the rice and chicken are cooked through, then stir in the parsley and serve.
