I guess having the chorizo on hand (for the breakfast tacos) had me thinking &#8220;Spanish&#8221;.  It&#8217;s not Romanesco cauliflower season yet, so I substituted asparagus (sauteed in a little garlic and olive oil), instead &#8211; peas would be good, too.  We are not fans of clams, so I used two shredded chicken breasts (leftover from the rotisserie chicken that I used in the tortilla soup &#8211; it&#8217;s been stowed in the freezer since then) and the remaining half-link of chorizo left over from the breakfast tacos.  I also added a little bit of pimenton (Spanish smoked paprika) to the sauce when I added the saffron.  I also baked the dish in a large casserole instead of the individual dishes, just for simplicity.  This photo was taken before I sprinkled the parsley on top.  Believe it or not, this dish came together in all of 10 minutes.  The most time-consuming thing was washing and cutting the asparagus.  The chicken and chorizo were already cooked; I had pre-toasted the fideos a couple of days ago when I was working in the kitchen and already had the oven going.  Yay &#8211; forethought!  This is going to be lunch for Hubby and me, but I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll have some leftover for the kids for their lunches tomorrow.  We haven&#8217;t even eaten it yet, but it sure smells good!  I already have something else planned for dinner tonight (stay tuned).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We loved this recipe so much, that I&#8217;ve decided to adapt it again.
