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.

Steps:
- Combine the butter and the sazon in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until the butter has melted.
- In a medium bowl, combine the potato flesh, melted butter, heavy cream, 1 egg, cornstarch, chili powder, garlic powder, and kosher salt and pepper, to taste, and mash until evenly combined; set aside.
- For the filling: In another medium bowl add the peppers, chicken, oregano, and kosher salt and pepper, to taste. Stir well to combine and reserve.
- In a deep heavy-bottomed 12-inch pan, add about 3 inches of oil. When ready to fry the balls heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the potato mixture into your hand and roll it into a ball. Using the back of a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon scoop or your finger, make an indentation in the ball leaving a pocket for the filling. Scoop a small amount of the chicken filling into the center of the potato and repeat to make a second ball. With the chicken filling facing the center, sandwich the first disk with the second and pinch to close off any seams. Roll lightly between your palms to form a ball. Continue with remaining filling and potato mixture.
- Lightly beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Add the potato flakes to a shallow bowl or plate and season lightly with salt. Dip each ball into the beaten egg, then into the potato flakes. If the ball is not completely covered, put it back into the egg, then into the potato flakes for a second time. Set aside and repeat to coat all the balls. Fry the balls, in batches, until cooked through and golden, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and arrange on a serving platter to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks work best. They will stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Use a well-seasoned skillet: A cast iron or stainless steel skillet that has been properly seasoned will help prevent the chicken from sticking and will give it a nice sear.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the potatoes and peppers: Once the chicken is cooked, add the potatoes and peppers to the skillet and cook until they are tender.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the chicken and vegetables are still hot.
Conclusion:
Pollo con papas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, the potatoes are tender and fluffy, and the peppers add a bit of sweetness and crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
