Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup long-grain rice
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 chicken bouillon cube

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the chicken in an ovensafe baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use tongs to turn the chicken and evenly coat. Bake for 15 minutes until browned but not cooked all the way through (it will finish cooking with the rice).
  • Meanwhile, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rice and stir to coat.
  • Toast the rice, stirring occasionally, until it is lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the onion and garlic and continue cooking until the rice is just lightly browned and the vegetables are starting to soften, about 2 minutes more. Make sure the garlic does not brown.
  • Add the tomato sauce, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, bouillon and 3 cups water. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the chicken to the rice in an even layer, skin-side up and not overlapping. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 3 1/2-to-4-pound chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces and skin removed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken stock
1/2 cup tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Combine the salt, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper and cayenne in a plastic gallon bag. Shake until the mixture is well combined.
  • Pat the chicken dry and place in the bag with the spice mixture. Shake the bag, making sure the chicken is well coated.
  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch high-sided skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes each side. Transfer the chicken to a plate, using tongs.
  • Add the onions, green peppers, red peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Cook the vegetables over moderate heat, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Add the rice and garlic and cook until the rice begins to turn gold in color and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Meanwhile, combine the stock, tomato sauce and remaining teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add 1 1/4 cups water and the stock mixture to the skillet and stir to make sure the rice is covered in liquid. Nestle the chicken in the rice, adding any juices from the plate. Bring the rice to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 35 minutes. Let the skillet stand covered, about 10 minutes before serving.

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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 (2 1/2 lb) roasting chickens, each cut into 6 pieces
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon pepper
salt
1/2 cup olives or 1/2 cup salad oil
1 medium green pepper
2 cups chopped onions
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 bay leaf
1/8-1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon saffron thread
2 cups converted raw white rice
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, undrained
1 (13 3/4 ounce) can chicken broth
0.5 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives, sliced
1 (4 ounce) can pimientos

Steps:

  • Wash chicken pieces under cold running water; drain well. Wipe dry with paper towels so fat won't spatter when chicken is browning. Combine oregano, pepper and 2 tsp salt. Sprinkle chicken all over with mixture; rub in well. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • In heavy, 6-quart round or oval Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown chicken a third at a time, until golden-brown all over, using tongs to turn chicken-this takes about 30 minutes in all. Remove chicken as it browns. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Wash green pepper; cut into quarters; remove ribs and seeds; cut into lengthwise strips, 1/4 inch wide. To drippings in Dutch oven, add onion, garlic, green pepper, bay leaf and red pepper; saute, stirring, over medium heat until onion is tender-5 minutes.
  • Using back of spoon, crush saffron threads on small piece of foil, or use a mortar and pestle. Add with 2 tsp salt and the rice to Dutch oven; cook, stirring, until rice is lightly browned-about 10 minutes. Add undrained tomatoes and chicken broth.
  • Arrange browned chicken pieces over rice mixture. Bring just to boiling, uncovered. Bake in oven, tightly covered, 1 hour. Remove from oven; add 1/2 cup water. Do not stir. Sprinkle peas and olives over top. Drain pimientos; cut into 1/4-inch strips.
  • Arrange pimiento strips attractively over top. Bake, covered, 20 minutes longer, or until chicken is tender, peas are cooked and rice has absorbed all liquid. Remove from oven. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Serve right from Dutch oven. Serves 6.

Tips:

  • To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your arroz con pollo. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, and corn.
  • If you want a more flavorful sauce, use a combination of chicken broth and tomato sauce.
  • Serve arroz con pollo with a side of rice, beans, or tortillas.
  • Top arroz con pollo with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, sour cream, or salsa.
