Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 (4 to 6 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cloves garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 cup rice
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 cups chicken stock, or as needed to cover
1 cup green peas
½ cup sliced black olives
½ cup raisins
¼ cup chopped pimento peppers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir chicken pieces until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. Cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, minced garlic, and whole garlic cloves in the same Dutch oven until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Return chicken to the onion mixture. Add tomatoes, rice, salt, oregano, black pepper, and bay leaf. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover all the ingredients.
  • Bake chicken-rice mixture in the preheated oven until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

ARROZ CON POLLO RISOTTO



Arroz Con Pollo Risotto image

Why should anyone raise an eyebrow if an American chef decides to combine the best of an Italian cooking technique with a deservedly popular Spanish recipe? Anyone who says this Spanish-Italian creation is not authentic need only go in search of the only authentic recipe for arroz con pollo, or rice with chicken. For the Spanish-Italian variation, thanks go to Larry Wolhandler, the owner of Painter's Tavern in Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y. He is also responsible for its unwieldy name, arroz con pollo risotto, or rice with chicken rice. But the idea is clear: the ingredients are Spanish, the method of cooking the rice Italian. The result, with a few alterations, is a handsome and quick meal that would be complemented by a salad of orange slices and red onions with a few dribbles of olive oil.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, one pot, main course

Time 30m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 to 4 cups chicken stock or broth
2 tablespoons good-quality olive oil
2 medium-size onions, chopped coarse
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 4-ounce can chopped mild jalapeno peppers
1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut in fine strips
1 cup arborio rice
6 small chopped fresh plum tomatoes (or one 14-ounce can crushed or chopped plum tomatoes)
5 or 6 ounces peas, at room temperature
Salt to taste, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat chicken stock and let simmer while preparing the rest of the recipe.
  • Heat oil in a heavy pan large enough to hold remaining ingredients. Saute onions and garlic in hot oil until onions are soft.
  • Stir in turmeric, peppers and chicken breasts and continue cooking until chicken begins to turn golden.
  • Add rice and stir well until rice is coated. Stir in tomatoes.
  • Stir about half a cup of the stock into the rice mixture and cook over medium high heat; stir frequently, until stock is absorbed. Repeat with additional half-cups of stock, using as much as is needed to cook the rice. The rice should be firm at its center, the mixture creamy. Just before rice is ready, stir in peas; cover, and let sit for two minutes to cook the peas. Season with salt, if desired.

ARROZ CON POLLO



Arroz con Pollo image

Ubiquitous throughout Latin America and beyond, this dish can be as simple or as complex as your ingredients allow. The key is to layer flavor, adding dimension as you go. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are preferred, but bone-in will also work well. (Chicken breasts lack the same amount of fat and flavor, so they are not recommended here.) Watch the rice carefully as it cooks, absorbing the liquid, as pots and stoves vary greatly. If it starts to smell a little burned, reduce the heat, toss and put the lid on the pot. But don't worry, as this aroma can be part of creating the coveted pegao, a layer of toasted rice that develops on the bottom of the pan and sticks to it, similar to Persian tahdig, Spanish socarrat or Senegalese xoon.

Categories     dinner, grains and rice, poultry, vegetables, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

3 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 cups medium-grain white rice
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or water)
2 1/2 to 3 cups fresh sofrito (see recipe below)
3 dried bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground annatto or sweet paprika
1 cup tomato sauce (basic canned tomato sauce is fine)
3/4 cup medium pimento-stuffed olives, drained (optional)
2 teaspoons drained capers (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 lime, cut into wedges
Salted, sliced avocado and tomato, for serving
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into quarters
3 ají dulce or amarillo peppers (or mini bell peppers), seeded and coarsely chopped
6 large garlic cloves
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
6 fresh culantro leaves and tender stems, coarsely chopped (see Note)
6 fresh cilantro stems, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the adobo by whisking the ingredients together in a bowl, or blending in a small food processor, pilón or mortar and pestle.
  • Pat the chicken dry, then place in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour prepared adobo over chicken. Toss well to combine, then cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, or seal the bag, and let the chicken rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. If you have the time, marinate for several hours or overnight to make the chicken extra tender and flavorful.
  • Prepare the sofrito: In a large food processor or blender, blend the peppers and garlic until smooth. Add the onion and blend until smooth, then add the culantro and cilantro and blend until smooth. (The preparation may produce more sofrito than needed for this recipe, but you can store additional sofrito in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.)
  • Add the rice to a medium bowl, then rinse with several rounds of cool water, pouring through a fine-mesh strainer until water runs out clear.
  • Once chicken is marinated, heat olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high. When the oil is simmering, working in batches if necessary, add chicken in one layer and brown for 7 to 10 minutes per batch, turning several times to evenly brown.
  • Meanwhile, bring chicken broth (or water) to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce to a simmer until ready to use.
  • Add sofrito, bay leaves and annatto or paprika to pot with chicken and stir well. Reduce heat to medium, and sauté until liquid is mostly evaporated and sofrito thickens to a paste, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Add tomato sauce and cook for 3 to 5 minutes longer, until the sauce darkens. Add the rinsed rice, olives and capers (if using), and salt and pepper, and fold in to ensure that the rice is fully coated and the chicken is evenly distributed.
  • Pour in hot stock, then simmer, uncovered, over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring only 2 to 3 times and shaking the pot every few minutes to keep rice level. (The liquid surrounding the rice will lower by about 1 inch.) Watch the rice very closely: The window between just right and overcooked is small, and difficult to predict, but you'll become an expert at this over time.
  • Once you start to spot lots of little bubbles on the surface but see no more pronounced liquid on top, top with the lid, reduce heat to low and cook until the rice is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes, shaking pot a few times. Once liquid is almost entirely evaporated, sprinkle thawed peas on top.
  • Working directly in the pot, using 2 forks, pull apart chicken thighs until shredded. Gently fluff the rice, bringing grains from the bottom to the top. Return the lid and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with lime wedges, and serve with salted avocado and tomato slices (or a simple green salad). The dish keeps well in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 (3 to 4-pound) chicken, cut in 8 serving pieces
1 medium yellow onion, quartered, plus 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 cups chicken broth, homemade or canned low-sodium broth
1 cup light beer, such as lager
3 tablespoons Delicioso Adobo, recipe follows
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup fresh chopped cilantro leaves
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
3 cups white rice
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
2 medium carrots, fnely diced
8 ounces green beans, trimmed and quartered
1 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, ribbed and thinly sliced
1 cup pimento stuffed olives
1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder or flakes
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 tablespoon achiote powder*
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Place the chicken, quartered onions, 1 cup of chicken broth, beer, Delicioso Adobo, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 of the cilantro, and garlic in a large pot or skillet over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside to cool; once cool shred and set aside. Strain the broth into a bowl through a fine-mesh sieve discarding the onion pieces.
  • Pour the broth into a measuring cup and add water to make 4 cups of liquid. Return it to the pot or skillet and add the rice, peas, carrots, green beans, ketchup, and salt. Stir well and bring to a boil. Let the liquid evaporate to just below the level of the rice, about 10 minutes, and then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and fully cooked, 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and the remaining sliced onions and cook until they're tender, 8 minutes. Shred the cooked chicken meat discarding the skin and bones, and add the chicken to the vegetables. Cook until it is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and add the chicken and vegetables to the rice mixture. Stir in the olives, sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and serve.
  • Combine all measured ingredients in a small glass jar with an airtight lid and shake to blend. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.

ARROZ CON POLLO



Arroz con Pollo image

You can make arroz con pollo, the Caribbean specialty, fast or slow. For weeknights, go with the stripped-down variation. But when you have a little time-and you don't need much-make the full-chicken stock for extra flavor, and saffron for best color and complexity. If you don't have stock, don't worry too much. Since the chicken and vegetables are cooking in the liquid, the dish will taste good even if you make it with water. A few slices of tomatoes would go well here, or any salad you like. You don't need much to round out this meal.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 pound good slab bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade (page 160), or water
2 medium onions (about 1/2 pound), sliced
1 chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, cut into serving pieces, or 2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken parts, trimmed of excess fat
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups white rice
1 ripe tomato, cored, seeded, and chopped
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
2 bay leaves
Large pinch of saffron threads, optional
1 cup fresh or frozen peas, optional
Freshly minced parsley or cilantro leaves for garnish
Lemon or lime wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Put the bacon in a deep skillet that has a lid and is large enough to hold the chicken; turn the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the bacon is browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, warm the stock in a small saucepan.
  • Add the onions and the chicken, skin side down, to the bacon and brown the chicken well, rotating and turning the pieces as necessary, about 10 minutes. About halfway through the browning, add the garlic and bell pepper and sprinkle everything with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the chicken and everything else in the pan with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is glossy, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato, allspice, bay leaves, saffron and peas if you're using them, and stock; stir, then return the chicken mixture to the pan. Adjust the heat so the liquid boils steadily but not violently and cover.
  • Cook for 20 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and the chicken is cooked through. (You can keep the dish warm over very low heat for another 15 minutes, and it will retain its heat for 15 minutes beyond that and still be good warm rather than hot.) Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon or lime wedges.
  • Fast, easy, and still really good. Omit the bacon, stock, red pepper, tomato, allspice, bay leaves, and peas. Bring 3 cups water to a boil. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the onions and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and become translucent, 5 to 10 minutes; meanwhile, remove the skin from the chicken. Add the rice to the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until glossy. Add the saffron if you're using it, then the chicken, some salt and pepper, and the boiling water. Adjust the heat and finish cooking as directed.

ARROZ CON POLLO (CUBANO)



Arroz Con Pollo (Cubano) image

In Cuba, "arroz con pollo" has the same status of a national dish. But even among serious cooks, the rules for constructing it are changing. The freshly made pastes (adobo and recaito), as well as the flavor-intensive olives, capers, and pimientos, still define the dish. But without the lard and the salt pork that health-conscious modern cooks have put behind them, the proud insistence on cooking the rice in plain water is yielding to the richer flavors of chicken broth or beer. Plantanos fritos (sautéed sweet bananas) are the classic accompaniment to this dish

Time 7h30m

Yield 5-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 roasting chicken, cut up as directed
1 smoked kielbasa, sausage, cut in 2 inch pieces
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon vinegar or 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, smashed flat
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, cut up
4 -5 sprigs cilantro
4 cups water
1 small onion
2 italian green peppers or 1 green bell pepper, cored and seeded
6 aji dulce chilies, if available, cored and seeded
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs cilantro, to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup salt pork, diced
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
12 ounces beer
2 cups medium grain white rice
18 pimento stuffed olives, cut in half
1 (4 ounce) jar pimiento strips
1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken into 2 thighs, 2 drumsticks, 2 wings, 2 wing tips, a back piece, and 4 breast pieces. Reserve the neck, back, and wing tips for stock.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the adobo and rub over the remaining pieces. Refrigerate several hours or overnight, or let sit at room temperature 1 hour to absorb the flavors.
  • Meanwhile, make the stock. Put the neck, back, and wing tips (and giblets if you like) in 4 cups of water with the garlic, onion, celery, and cilantro. Cook uncovered 2 to 3 hours, then strain out the solids and return the stock to the pot.
  • Coarsely chop the recaito ingredients, then process them together in a food processor until finely minced but not watery.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, wide, heavy bottomed saucepan, Dutch oven, or skillet. Add salt pork and cook 3 to 5 minutes. Remove any solid fat pieces but leave the meat in the pot. Add chicken thighs and drumsticks and cook 5 minutes. Add remaining chicken pieces and sausage pieces and cook another 10 minutes to brown all pieces on both sides.
  • Remove and set aside. Add the recaito and cook 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, then 3 cups hot stock (or 1 ½ cups stock and 1 ½ cups beer). Add the cumin, paprika, chili powder, turmeric and bay leaf and the rice. Bring to a boil. Return chicken to the pan. Stir in the olives and some salt, if needed. Reduce heat and boil gently, uncovered, until all the surface water disappears (Cuban cooks say to cook uncovered until the rice is dry). With a wooden spoon, turn up the rice from the bottom of the pot.
  • Reduce heat to very low, cover the pot, and cook for 1 hour, uncovering briefly every 15 minutes to turn up the rice from the bottom of the pan.
  • Turn the rice and chicken onto a serving platter and garnish with the pimiento strips and the peas. Scrape up the pegao (the bottom crust) with a spatula (it will come off in pieces) and pass in a separate serving dish or scatter the pieces around the edges of the platter. It should be crisp and colored anywhere from gold to brown, but not burned.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your arroz con pollo. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. This is a great way to create a unique and flavorful dish.
  • Serve arroz con pollo with a side of beans, salad, or bread.

Conclusion:

Arroz con pollo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like it mild or spicy, with a lot of vegetables or a little, there is an arroz con pollo recipe out there for everyone.
