CUBAN BAKED CHICKEN WITH SWEET PEPPERS AND YELLOW RICE
Tender cuts of chicken are browned and cooked with aromatics, bell peppers, spices, rice and peas in this mouthwatering one-pot feast referred to as arroz con pollo in Cuba and other parts of Latin America. We use turmeric and cumin for a bright pop of color instead of the typical sazón seasoning or homemade spice mix.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Melt the butter with the oil in a large deep skillet, with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until well browned, about 6 minutes. Turn chicken and cook until other side browns lightly, about 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat.
- Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Add the peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, rice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir until the rice is coated. Pour in the broth, stir to distribute the rice evenly. Increase the heat to high and boil until liquid begins to be absorbed into the rice, about 2 minutes. Nestle the chicken in the rice. Cover and transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the rice is tender and chicken cooks through, about 25 minutes.
- Remove the cover, fluff the rice and stir in the peas. Cover and let sit to warm the peas, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve.

CUBAN CHICKEN
An unusual combination of ingredients. Yummy! Serve over rice. You can put rice into the pot to cook with everything else, but add 2 cups chicken broth and simmer 20 minutes until the rice is done. One fewer pot to wash!

CUBAN GARLIC CHICKEN
This is straight from Havana, from a restaurant called "Gladys' House". Adapted from a recipe printed in the Chicago Tribune. You can find bottled sour orange juice in Hispanic markets or well-stocked Hispanic aisles in your local grocery store. Cook/prepare time includes marination time of one hour. I'm having a really hard time getting the first ingredient through the Zaar editor, but it's 2, 3-4 lb. chickens, cut into serving pieces

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor and texture. You can also use a whole chicken, cut into pieces.
- Make sure the chicken is well-seasoned: The garlic sauce is flavorful, but the chicken itself should also be well-seasoned. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before cooking.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook the chicken over too high heat, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Baste the chicken frequently: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. Use a pastry brush to baste the chicken with the garlic sauce every few minutes.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Virginia's Cuban Garlic Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the garlic sauce is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
