One of my childhood favorites, had it quite often. Traditionally they do add the olives and sometimes even capers..but I don't like them.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 lbs roasting chickens, cut into parts
4 cups long grain white rice
8 cups water
5 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon white sugar
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup cubanelle pepper, chopped
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 pinch ground oregano
1 teaspoon crushed fresh garlic
1 pinch ground black pepper
1/8 cup pitted olive, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
salt
1 chicken bouillon cube
3 tablespoons adobo seasoning (Goya)

Steps:

  • Wash the chicken parts in cold water. In a large plastic bag or air tight container with lid, place the chicken, add the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, onions, pepper, oregano, adobo seasoning and black pepper. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • In a large cast iron pot over high heat, add 3 tbsp of oil (reserve 2) add sugar to heated oil, and quickly stir. Don't allow it to burn. When sugar turns brown (this will happen very quickly) add the chicken without the vegetables but don't discard them. Stir the chicken and cover. Reduce heat to medium and let it simmer for 10 minutes Adding tablespoons of water regularly if needed to prevent it from burning/sticking.
  • After 10 mins add the remaining water, the tomato paste, the reserved vegetables, and the chicken bouillon cube, and stir to combine until well mixed and paste and bouillon are dissolved. Taste and add salt to taste. Should be just a little saltier than you'd prefer, because the rice and chicken will absorb a lot of it.
  • Add the rice, once all the water has evaporated, cover and simmer over minimum heat. Wait 15 mins, uncover give it all a good stir from bottom to top and add the remaining 2 tbsp oil. Cover and wait another 5 minutes Taste rice for doneness, it should be firm but tender inside. If necessary, cover and leave another 5 minutes.
  • Serve with a side of green salad, tostones and avocados; Enjoy!

One pot--so simple! My MIL, who is from the Dominican Republic, has ALWAYS made this. Every since the very first time she made it for me, it has been my FAVORITE dish. Even my kids, ages 12 & 5 and are incredibly picky, will eat this meal. We usually make it with a side salad and fried Plantains like in Recipe #187281. Oh and the house smells incredible while this is cooking!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will produce the best results. Look for free-range chicken, organic vegetables, and high-quality rice.
  • Sauté the chicken before adding it to the rice: This will help to brown the chicken and give it a more flavorful crust.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will play a big role in the flavor of the final dish. Use a homemade broth or a store-bought broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Add seasonings and spices to taste: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and spices. Some popular choices include garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, and cilantro.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it: Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Conclusion:

Locrio de pollo is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a locrio de pollo that is sure to impress your family and friends.
