For mine, I like to use whole pieces of chicken (legs or thighs) that I season with chile powder, cumin, and oregano before adding the rice. Authentic Arroz Con Pollo, or Latin chicken and rice, is the ultimate one-pot meal.
Steps to make Arroz con Pollo / Rice with Chicken:
- Cut the chicken in medium chunks (leave wings for another meal), and season with adobo or salt and pepper to taste. *Boneless chicken breast is fine.
- Cook the chicken in a little olive oil or butter on medium to low heat.
- Once chicken is cooked, remove from pan and add sofrito and onions. (add more oil if needed). On medium heat cook until onions are translucent.
- Add tomato sauce, olives, red pepper, cumin, chicken bouillon, sazon, corn and bay leaf. Cook covered for 5 minutes.
- Add chicken, rice, water, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Cook uncovered until most of the water evaporates. ( About 10-15 minutes depending on your stove)
- Once water evaporates, stir from the bottom up ONLY 2-3 times. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, stir from the bottom up and rice should be nice and fluffy. If still uncooked cover again and cook for 10 minutes at a time.
- Enjoy :-)
