Chicken & Rice Recipe (Arroz con Pollo) πŸ—πŸš

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4-6 chicken pieces
  • 2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 chicken bouillon cube
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups parboiled rice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • 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 SazΓ³n 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.
