   • Begin by seasoning the chicken pieces with adobo seasoning. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.

2. Brown the Chicken:

   • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Aromatics:

   • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. Cook Vegetables:

   • Add the chopped onion and green pepper to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

5. Incorporate Seasonings:

   • Sprinkle in the Sazón seasoning and add the chicken bouillon cube. Stir well to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together.

6. Boil Water:

   • Increase the heat to high and pour in the water. Bring the mixture to a boil.

7. Add Rice:

   • Once the liquid is boiling, add the parboiled rice to the pot. Stir everything together to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.

8. Simmer:

   • Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Allow the chicken and rice to simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

9. Serve:

   • Once the rice is cooked through, remove the pot from the heat. Let it sit, covered, for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Then, serve your delicious Arroz con Pollo hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
