Steps:
- Place the chicken, quartered onions, 1 cup of chicken broth, beer, Delicioso Adobo, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 of the cilantro, and garlic in a large pot or skillet over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside to cool; once cool shred and set aside. Strain the broth into a bowl through a fine-mesh sieve discarding the onion pieces.
- Pour the broth into a measuring cup and add water to make 4 cups of liquid. Return it to the pot or skillet and add the rice, peas, carrots, green beans, ketchup, and salt. Stir well and bring to a boil. Let the liquid evaporate to just below the level of the rice, about 10 minutes, and then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and fully cooked, 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and the remaining sliced onions and cook until they're tender, 8 minutes. Shred the cooked chicken meat discarding the skin and bones, and add the chicken to the vegetables. Cook until it is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and add the chicken and vegetables to the rice mixture. Stir in the olives, sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and serve.
- Combine all measured ingredients in a small glass jar with an airtight lid and shake to blend. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.

Here, the grains are cooked up with golden-brown chicken thighs and garnished with pimiento-stuffed olives. Saffron gives the rice its warm yellow hue.

Variations on this staple chicken and rice casserole, an easy one-pot meal, can be found throughout Spain and Latin America. The first step is to brown the cut-up chicken well on all sides. Saute the onions, garlic, green peppers and diced ham; then add the tomatoes, saffron, bay leaf and chicken broth. When the mixture comes to a boil, the rice, capers, olives and chicken are added. The dish cooks, covered tightly, in 20 minutes. To get the most authentic flavor, use high-quality saffron threads.

ARROZ CON POLLO
You can make arroz con pollo, the Caribbean specialty, fast or slow. For weeknights, go with the stripped-down variation. But when you have a little time-and you don't need much-make the full-chicken stock for extra flavor, and saffron for best color and complexity. If you don't have stock, don't worry too much. Since the chicken and vegetables are cooking in the liquid, the dish will taste good even if you make it with water. A few slices of tomatoes would go well here, or any salad you like. You don't need much to round out this meal.

Steps:
- Put the bacon in a deep skillet that has a lid and is large enough to hold the chicken; turn the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the bacon is browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, warm the stock in a small saucepan.
- Add the onions and the chicken, skin side down, to the bacon and brown the chicken well, rotating and turning the pieces as necessary, about 10 minutes. About halfway through the browning, add the garlic and bell pepper and sprinkle everything with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the chicken and everything else in the pan with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is glossy, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato, allspice, bay leaves, saffron and peas if you're using them, and stock; stir, then return the chicken mixture to the pan. Adjust the heat so the liquid boils steadily but not violently and cover.
- Cook for 20 minutes, until all the water is absorbed and the chicken is cooked through. (You can keep the dish warm over very low heat for another 15 minutes, and it will retain its heat for 15 minutes beyond that and still be good warm rather than hot.) Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon or lime wedges.
- Fast, easy, and still really good. Omit the bacon, stock, red pepper, tomato, allspice, bay leaves, and peas. Bring 3 cups water to a boil. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the onions and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and become translucent, 5 to 10 minutes; meanwhile, remove the skin from the chicken. Add the rice to the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until glossy. Add the saffron if you're using it, then the chicken, some salt and pepper, and the boiling water. Adjust the heat and finish cooking as directed.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use a good quality rice: The type of rice you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a medium-grain rice like Valencia or Calrose, which will absorb the flavors of the other ingredients well and cook up fluffy.
- Cook the rice in broth: Using broth instead of water will add more flavor to the rice. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of both.
- Don't overcook the rice: Arroz con pollo is best when the rice is cooked al dente, with a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and bland.
- Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help prevent the chicken and rice from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can season it by cooking a few tablespoons of oil in it over medium heat for a few minutes. Then, wipe out the oil and continue with the recipe.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the chicken and rice to the skillet, make sure you don't overcrowd it. If the skillet is too crowded, the chicken and rice will not cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken and rice in batches if necessary: If you have a large skillet, you may be able to cook the chicken and rice in one batch. However, if you have a smaller skillet, you may need to cook them in batches.
- Serve the arroz con pollo immediately: Arroz con pollo is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the rice is still fluffy and the chicken is still juicy.
Conclusion:
Arroz con pollo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give arroz con pollo a try!
