In heavy skillet, saute chicken that has been cut into bite-size pieces in olive oil until lightly browned. Take out chicken and set aside (keep warm). Add onion and cook until soft. Add garlic (use crushed). Add rice, salt, pepper, tarragon, saffron, paprika, chicken broth, clams and juice. Bring to boil, covered, and cook over medium heat until rice is almost done and liquid is almost absorbed. Add cooked peas, chicken, lobster and shrimp. (Add some whole fresh clams for effect.) Cook 5 minutes. Sprinkle parsley over top and set aside to allow for absorbing of remaining liquid. NOTE: Add hot boiling water if rice is not done so it won’t become dry.
