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).
  • Stir peas, olives, raisins, and pimento peppers into the chicken-rice mixture. Bake until warmed through, an additional 15 minutes.

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.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into 10 serving pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 large green pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 pound boneless smoked ham, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
4 ripe plum tomatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
1 bay leaf
3 cups fresh or canned chicken broth
1 cup converted rice
1 tablespoon drained capers
12 green olives stuffed with pimentos
1 9-ounce package frozen green peas
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 6 1/2-ounce can fancy pimentos, cut into 8 long strips
4 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh coriander or parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, cumin and oregano.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and brown on all sides. Remove the pieces to a baking dish and set aside, keeping them warm.
  • Add the onion, garlic, green pepper and ham to the skillet. Saute until vegetables are wilted. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato cubes, saffron, bay leaf and broth. Bring to a boil while scraping the bottom to loosen any sticking particles. Add the rice, capers, olives and chicken. Stir, cover tightly and put in the oven. Bake 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the peas and the cheese. Arrange the strips of pimento on top and bake 5 minutes more. Remove and discard the bay leaf and serve sprinkled with coriander.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your arroz con pollo will be. Look for fresh, flavorful chicken, vegetables, and rice.
  • Season your chicken well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of spices and herbs to flavor your chicken. This will help to create a delicious, flavorful dish.
  • Cook your rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it: Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are cooking the chicken and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat it with the chicken and vegetable juices: This will help to create a flavorful, cohesive dish.
  • Cover the pan and simmer the arroz con pollo until the rice is cooked through: This will usually take about 20 minutes.
  • Let the arroz con pollo rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb any remaining liquid.

Conclusion:

Arroz con pollo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its combination of flavorful chicken, tender rice, and colorful vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give arroz con pollo a try. You won't be disappointed!
