 HEAT THE OIL IN THE POT over medium heat and brown the
 chicken on all sides, in batches if necessary. Remove
 the pieces as they are done and add the onion and
 peppers. Cook 5 minutes, stirring. Meanwhile, bring
 the chicken stock to a boil in a separate pot. When
 the peppers and onions are done, reduce heat to low
 and add the garlic, rice, salt and pepper. Stir to
 coat the rice with the oil. Add the stock and the
 saffron. Add the tomatoes. Replace the chicken pieces,
 cover and cook for 25 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook
 another 10 minutes. If the pot has gotten too dry, add
 a little water or more stock. Add the clams and
 mussels and cook until they open. Remove from the heat
 and serve from the casserole. Accompany with lemon
 wedges.
