Smoked Tomato Chicken Paella

Smoked Tomato Chicken Paella

Cooking paella on the grill harkens back to the original Spanish method for cooking the dish over an open fire. This updated paella has subtle smokiness from the hickory wood chips and the smoked tomatoes. Photo credit: Eva Kosmas from Adventures in Cooking.
