CUBAN BAKED CHICKEN WITH SWEET PEPPERS AND YELLOW RICE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Melt the butter with the oil in a large deep skillet, with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until well browned, about 6 minutes. Turn chicken and cook until other side browns lightly, about 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat.
- Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Add the peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, rice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir until the rice is coated. Pour in the broth, stir to distribute the rice evenly. Increase the heat to high and boil until liquid begins to be absorbed into the rice, about 2 minutes. Nestle the chicken in the rice. Cover and transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the rice is tender and chicken cooks through, about 25 minutes.
- Remove the cover, fluff the rice and stir in the peas. Cover and let sit to warm the peas, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve.

APRIE'S CUBAN BLACK BEAN, SAUTEED CHICKEN BREAST OVER A BED OF YELLOW RICE.
This is a recipe your family will truly adore and want to come back for more. It reminds me of the times when mom and I use to spend quality girl time together. I remember when we use go on our shopping sprees, we use to attend these Cuban style restaurants. She and I use to go to this particular restaurant located on Burnside Ave. in The Bronx, in New York City. You can always receive great service, good food and great Cuban music. These are the times I miss so much now that she's gone. But, now I get to do the same things with my daughter and she loves it too. This recipe translation is as follow: Haba negra cubano de Aprie, pecho de pollo salteado sobre una cama del arroz amarillo. Thanks Mom for great fun, good food, music, and fantastic times together.

Steps:
- In skillet, heat oil and add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another few minutes. Remove onions and garlic from pan. Add a little more oil and saute chicken pieces until browned. Stir in the broth, poultry seasoning, pepper and salt. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir in rice and reserved onion and garlic. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until rice is almost tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the black beans and cumin. Cover and cook until heated through and rice is done, about 5-10 minutes.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have fewer seeds.
- If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes. Be sure to drain them well and rinse them before using.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven for this recipe so that the chicken and vegetables have plenty of room to cook.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet with chicken. If you need to cook in batches, do so.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. Add the vegetables to the skillet and cook until they are softened.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the black bean sauce and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the chicken and vegetable mixture over rice.
