1/4 cup olive oil
12 bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (6 drumsticks and 6 thighs)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.

  • Add the onions and peppers to the pot and cook until the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for about 1 minute. Add the paprika, cumin, saffron and bay leaves, stirring until incorporated. Next, add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, beer, rice and 1 teaspoon salt; mix well. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.

This is a Peruvian rice and chicken dish made with cilantro and a special Peruvian kick. It's very delicious, my Peruvian father-in-law said that mine was even better then his sister's - who is one of the best cooks in the family (besides my mother-in-law)! Goes great with Huancaina sauce and salsa Criolla.

ARROZ CON POLLO (CHICKEN WITH RICE)



Arroz Con Pollo (Chicken With Rice) image

This is the way my grandmother made it. I make it this way all the time. It's good and delicious!!

Provided by babygirl65

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
1 cup long grain rice (not instant)
1 (5 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 -3 garlic cloves, use garlic press*
diced green bell pepper
diced yellow onion
cumin
salt
pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons shortening or 2 tablespoons lard
2 cups hot water

Steps:

  • Season chicken breast with salt and pepper.
  • Brown chicken in skillet, 2-3 minutes on each side (with a little bit of oil in skillet so that it wont stick).
  • When it's chicken is browned, remove from skillet; set aside. Cut into pieces when cool enough.
  • In the same skillet, put shortening or Lard, let it melt. When melted, add green peppers and onion (use as little or as much as you like). Saute about 2 minutes.
  • Add rice. Fry rice until golden brown.
  • Add salt, pepper, cumin and minced garlic (or garlic powder, not garlic salt), be careful not to burn garlic.
  • Add chicken, toss to coat with seasonings.
  • Add hot water, slowly -- then add chicken bouillon and then tomato sauce. (don't have to use all of can, I usually use about 3/4 of the can).
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. DO NOT UNCOVER AT ALL UNTIL ALL OF THE WATER IS EVAPORATED. This is the secret!
  • When the water is just about evaporated, turn heat off and keep on stove until completely evaporated.
  • Remove from skillet into a serving dish and keep covered until ready to serve.
  • Serve with beans and homemade tortillas!
  • *On the seasonings, I don't normally measure, I just dash here and there to my taste. If not using garlic cloves, use garlic powder NOT garlic salt. You have to keep doing it until you get it perfect. I have been making this for about 25+ years and sometimes it comes out perfect, sometimes is still needs something! Keep practicing, you'll get it!

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the rice, as it will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch, which can make the rice gummy.
  • Use a flavorful broth to cook the rice, such as chicken broth or vegetable broth, to add extra flavor to the dish.
  • Do not stir the rice while it is cooking, as this can break the grains and make the rice mushy.
  • Once the rice is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork to prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still tender, to prevent it from becoming dry and tough.
  • Add the vegetables to the rice and chicken towards the end of the cooking time, so that they retain their鮮豔色彩 and texture.
  • Season the dish with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the arroz con pollo with a side of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream, to add extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Arroz con pollo is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables, and it can be easily tailored to your own tastes. With its combination of tender chicken, fluffy rice, and colorful vegetables, arroz con pollo is a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
