Arroz Con Pollo With Salsa Verde (Rice and Chicken Casserole) image

I think this one is from FoodTV but I don't remember which program. The smell while it cooks will have your neighbors stopping by for a "chat". It is a real crowd pleaser. Prep. time doesn't include marinating time.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the rice was bland.

I found this recipe to be too time-consuming. I don't have the time to spend hours in the kitchen cooking.

This recipe is a little bland for my taste. I added some additional seasonings to give it more flavor.

I'm not a fan of salsa verde, so I omitted it from this recipe. The dish was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the salsa verde.

This arroz con pollo is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have leftover chicken after I make a whole chicken for dinner and this is a great way to use it up.

I made a few substitutions to this recipe and it still turned out great. I used brown rice instead of white rice and added some black beans.

This arroz con pollo was bursting with flavor and had a lovely, vibrant color. The chicken was tender and juicy, while the rice was perfectly cooked and fluffy. The salsa verde added a delicious, tangy touch that really brought the dish together.
