Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound boneless chicken breast, cubed
1 onion, chopped
1 cup chopped red bell peppers
½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 cup long-grain rice, rinsed and drained
½ cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add cubed chicken; cook until golden, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot. Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil and cook onion, red peppers, green peppers, garlic, salt, oregano, cumin, pepper, and red pepper flakes until tender, about 3 minutes. Place chicken back in the pot and stir in chicken broth, rice, and tomato sauce. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Complete releasing pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid; stir in capers. Serve with cilantro and lemon wedges.

I followed the recipe exactly and the Arroz con Pollo was a disaster! The chicken was dry and the rice was mushy.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I like to add more spices, such as cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

I made this dish in my slow cooker instead of my Instant Pot. It took longer to cook, but it was just as good.

I accidentally used brown rice instead of white rice. It took a little longer to cook, but it was still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, even without it.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken in the fridge, and it worked perfectly in this recipe.
