Best 9 Arroz Con Pollo Peruano Palillo Americanized Recipes

PERUVIAN ARROZ CON POLLO

Steps:

• Place two large skillets over medium heat, pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into each, and heat the oil until it ripples. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, divide between the two skillets, and fry until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Use screens over the skillets, if needed, to control spattering. Remove the chicken from the skillets, and drain on paper towels.
• Place the cilantro leaves, garlic, aji pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and orange juice into a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into one of the skillets, bring to a simmer, and cook and stir over medium-low heat until the mixture turns from bright to dark green, about 5 minutes.
• Place the chopped onions into the other skillet, and cook and stir over medium-low heat until the onions turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the rice, and cook and stir until the rice starts to turn opaque, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the white wine into the blender and pulse a few times to rinse off any extra cilantro mixture from the blender, and pour the wine into the skillet containing the cilantro mixture. Bring the mixture back to a simmer over medium heat, scrape the rice and onions into the cilantro mixture, stir in the chicken broth and black pepper, and bring to a boil. Place the browned chicken pieces and carrots into the skillet, stir to combine, and cover. Reduce heat, and cook until the rice is separate and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the lid, place the pepper rings on the rice, and sprinkle with frozen peas. Cover and cook without stirring until the peppers and peas are tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover the skillet and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine wine and saffron.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or braiser, heat oil over medium-high. Add chicken, skin side down; cook until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook 2 minutes more; transfer to a plate.
• Drain all but 2 tablespoons fat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until translucent, 4 minutes. Add tomato and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in wine-saffron mixture, bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until wine is nearly evaporated, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in rice, broth, and olives. Nestle chicken into rice, skin side up. Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to oven. Cook until liquid is absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

ARROZ CON POLLO (PERUVIAN STYLE)

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a heavy pot with a lid over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook in hot oil until just browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a platter, reserving drippings in the pot.
• Saute onion and garlic in the retained drippings until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir cilantro into the onion mixture; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir mixture for 2 minutes more.
• Return chicken to the pot; add rice, water, beer, carrot, and peas. Place lid on the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the rice absorbs the liquid completely and is tender, about 20 minutes.

PERUVIAN ARROZ VERDE CON POLLO

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and black pepper. Fry in oil until golden brown and remove from fire. Leave to cool.
• In the same oil, saute the chopped garlic, onion, bell peppers and cilantro. You can also use really red hot firebird peppers if you like it spicy.
• Add the chicken and stir for 2 - 3 minutes. Add beer and simmer for about 10 minutes until chicken is cooked.
• Add the rice and mixed peas. Mix well for a couple of minutes. Add chicken stock (salt if needed) and simmer for another 20 minutes or until rice is cooked and slightly burnt at the bottom.

ARROZ CON POLLO

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.

ARROZ CON POLLO PERUANO

Steps:

• For the arroz con pollo peruano: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a 3.5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl. Season with the cumin, oregano, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat evenly with the spices. Add the chicken to the Dutch oven and cook until golden on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Combine the garlic, cilantro, bell pepper, onion and beer in a blender until smooth, 15 to 20 seconds. Set aside.
• Remove the cooked chicken to a plate. Add the cilantro sauce and remaining 2 teaspoons salt to the Dutch oven, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Lower to medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until is reduced by about half and becomes a thick sauce, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the quick pickled red onions.
• For the quick pickled red onions: Rinse and drain the onions in a small bowl 2 to 3 times under cold water to wash away the harsh onion flavor. Toss with the lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside to marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Wash and rinse the rice until the water runs almost clear, 3 to 4 rinses. Set aside.
• Stir the rinsed rice, peas and carrots into the reduced cilantro sauce until the rice and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the seared chicken along with any juices that have collected and 1 1/2 cups water until combined. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover immediately and bake in the oven until the rice is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
• About 5 minutes before the arroz verde con pollo finishes cooking, preheat a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Swirl in the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil so it coats the bottom of the pan. Crack an egg into a small bowl and then carefully pour it into the preheated pan. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Fry until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the arroz con pollo from the oven and serve with the pickled red onions and fried eggs.
