Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 (4 to 6 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cloves garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 cup rice
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 cups chicken stock, or as needed to cover
1 cup green peas
½ cup sliced black olives
½ cup raisins
¼ cup chopped pimento peppers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir chicken pieces until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. Cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, minced garlic, and whole garlic cloves in the same Dutch oven until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Return chicken to the onion mixture. Add tomatoes, rice, salt, oregano, black pepper, and bay leaf. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover all the ingredients.
  • Bake chicken-rice mixture in the preheated oven until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Stir peas, olives, raisins, and pimento peppers into the chicken-rice mixture. Bake until warmed through, an additional 15 minutes.

ARROZ CON POLLO



Arroz Con Pollo image

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

This is my version of my favorite Cuban dish. I use boneless skinless chicken breast instead of whole chicken. It makes it easier to prepare and eat, as well as a little healthier. This is one of my most requested dishes. I usually serve it with black beans, platanos maduros, and garlic bread.

Easy Arroz con Pollo made with chicken thighs, long-grain rice and Mexican seasonings! A classic chicken and rice dish you'll make over and over again!

Provided by Isabel Eats

Categories     Main

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 chicken thighs ((either skin-on or skinless, whichever you prefer))
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, (divided)
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar ((or lime juice))
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano ((Mexican oregano preferred))
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 small yellow onion, (diced)
1 green bell pepper, (diced)
2 teaspoons minced garlic ((about 4 cloves))
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice, (rinsed and drained)
3 1/4 cups water ((or chicken broth))
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 cup frozen green peas
chopped cilantro and lime wedges, (for garnish)

Steps:

  • In a large freezer bag (or bowl), add chicken, 3 tablespoons olive oil, white wine vinegar, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, oregano and cumin. Seal the bag and toss until everything is completely coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
  • Heat a large saute pan/deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken thighs to the pan skin-side down and cook for about 6 minutes per side, until skin is is crispy and golden.
  • Transfer the chicken onto a plate and cook the remaining chicken the same way. The chicken won't be fully cooked yet - that's okay. It will continue cooking with the rice later.
  • In the same pan using the oil that's already in there, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5 minutes until onions have softened and are translucent.
  • Add the garlic and rice. Saute for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant and rice begins to brown slightly.
  • Add the water, tomato paste and salt, Stir together to combine until the tomato paste has fully dissolved.
  • Add the browned chicken thighs to the pan skin-side up and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 20-25 minutes until the rice is fully cooked through and the chicken registers an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the cooked chicken pieces to a clean plate. Add the frozen peas to the rice and fluff them in using a fork. The rice will be hot enough to thaw the peas out completely.
  • Serve the arroz con pollo immediately with a garnish of chopped cilantro and lime wedges.

ARROZ CON POLLO



Arroz con Pollo image

Ubiquitous throughout Latin America and beyond, this dish can be as simple or as complex as your ingredients allow. The key is to layer flavor, adding dimension as you go. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are preferred, but bone-in will also work well. (Chicken breasts lack the same amount of fat and flavor, so they are not recommended here.) Watch the rice carefully as it cooks, absorbing the liquid, as pots and stoves vary greatly. If it starts to smell a little burned, reduce the heat, toss and put the lid on the pot. But don't worry, as this aroma can be part of creating the coveted pegao, a layer of toasted rice that develops on the bottom of the pan and sticks to it, similar to Persian tahdig, Spanish socarrat or Senegalese xoon.

Provided by Von Diaz

Categories     dinner, grains and rice, poultry, vegetables, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

3 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 cups medium-grain white rice
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or water)
2 1/2 to 3 cups fresh sofrito (see recipe below)
3 dried bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground annatto or sweet paprika
1 cup tomato sauce (basic canned tomato sauce is fine)
3/4 cup medium pimento-stuffed olives, drained (optional)
2 teaspoons drained capers (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 lime, cut into wedges
Salted, sliced avocado and tomato, for serving
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into quarters
3 ají dulce or amarillo peppers (or mini bell peppers), seeded and coarsely chopped
6 large garlic cloves
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
6 fresh culantro leaves and tender stems, coarsely chopped (see Note)
6 fresh cilantro stems, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the adobo by whisking the ingredients together in a bowl, or blending in a small food processor, pilón or mortar and pestle.
  • Pat the chicken dry, then place in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour prepared adobo over chicken. Toss well to combine, then cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, or seal the bag, and let the chicken rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. If you have the time, marinate for several hours or overnight to make the chicken extra tender and flavorful.
  • Prepare the sofrito: In a large food processor or blender, blend the peppers and garlic until smooth. Add the onion and blend until smooth, then add the culantro and cilantro and blend until smooth. (The preparation may produce more sofrito than needed for this recipe, but you can store additional sofrito in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.)
  • Add the rice to a medium bowl, then rinse with several rounds of cool water, pouring through a fine-mesh strainer until water runs out clear.
  • Once chicken is marinated, heat olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high. When the oil is simmering, working in batches if necessary, add chicken in one layer and brown for 7 to 10 minutes per batch, turning several times to evenly brown.
  • Meanwhile, bring chicken broth (or water) to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce to a simmer until ready to use.
  • Add sofrito, bay leaves and annatto or paprika to pot with chicken and stir well. Reduce heat to medium, and sauté until liquid is mostly evaporated and sofrito thickens to a paste, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Add tomato sauce and cook for 3 to 5 minutes longer, until the sauce darkens. Add the rinsed rice, olives and capers (if using), and salt and pepper, and fold in to ensure that the rice is fully coated and the chicken is evenly distributed.
  • Pour in hot stock, then simmer, uncovered, over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring only 2 to 3 times and shaking the pot every few minutes to keep rice level. (The liquid surrounding the rice will lower by about 1 inch.) Watch the rice very closely: The window between just right and overcooked is small, and difficult to predict, but you'll become an expert at this over time.
  • Once you start to spot lots of little bubbles on the surface but see no more pronounced liquid on top, top with the lid, reduce heat to low and cook until the rice is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes, shaking pot a few times. Once liquid is almost entirely evaporated, sprinkle thawed peas on top.
  • Working directly in the pot, using 2 forks, pull apart chicken thighs until shredded. Gently fluff the rice, bringing grains from the bottom to the top. Return the lid and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with lime wedges, and serve with salted avocado and tomato slices (or a simple green salad). The dish keeps well in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

Recipe for Mexican Arroz con Pollo- tomato vegetable rice, garlic and onion slow cooked with tender chicken. Easy healthy affordable one pot meal

Provided by Tori Avey

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups white rice
1 1/2 lbs roma tomatoes, halved
1 garlic clove
1/2 medium onion, peeled
2 tbsp vegetable oil ((we used grapeseed))
1/2 tsp chili powder ((mild))
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup peas (fresh or frozen - not canned)
Salt
6 pieces chicken - legs and/or thighs
2 tbsp chopped cilantro for garnish ((optional))

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice well in a mesh colander, then shake to drain. Let the rice continue draining over the sink while you blend together the cooking liquid.
  • In a blender, combine the roma tomatoes, garlic, onion, and 1 1/2 cups of water.
  • Blend till the mixture is smooth. Pour the tomato mixture through another mesh colander or sieve into a large bowl, pushing the solids to extract as much flavored juice as possible.
  • Reserve the juice and discard the solids.
  • Heat up 2 tbsp of oil in a nonstick pot over medium high heat. Add the rice to the pot. Saute the rice, stirring almost constantly, for 10-15 minutes till the grains of rice start to turn golden. Be careful-- when they begin to turn golden, they can easily go to brown/burned if you don't watch them carefully.
  • Measure the reserved tomato liquid into the pot by cupfuls. You will need 6 cups of liquid total. First measure the tomato liquid and pour into the pot (there will be about 3 cups). Once you know how much tomato liquid there is, you can measure out the remaining amount of liquid needed-- in our case, we needed 3 more cups. Add that amount of water to the pot to make 6 cups of liquid total.
  • Stir in the diced carrots, corn, and peas along with 1 tsp of salt.
  • Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt (skip salting the chicken if you're using kosher meat) and chili powder. You can use up to six pieces of chicken in one pot. We took the skin off of our chicken before cooking to make the dish a bit lighter. You can leave the skin on if you prefer, which will add more flavor to the dish.
  • Place the chicken pieces on top of the rice and vegetables, covered in the tomato liquid. Bring the mixture to a slow boil.
  • Reduce heat to a slow, even simmer over medium low heat and cover the pot. Let the mixture simmer for 1 hour till all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Check at 30 minutes to see if the pot looks too dry. Add additional liquid as needed, and additional salt to taste, if desired. We ended up adding another 1 cup of water to the pot after 30 minutes-- the liquid absorbs pretty quickly into the rice. Check the rice again for dryness at 45 minutes. When all of the liquid has absorbed and the rice, vegetables, and chicken are tender, remove from heat.
  • Serve the chicken over the rice, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired. I decided to debone the chicken and cut it into pieces before serving for a prettier presentation. You can serve it on the bone if you like. The rice will be quite soft-- this is the correct texture for this dish. It all comes together in a very warm, cozy, filling one-pot meal. It's simple, homey, healthy Mexican comfort food.

1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 chicken bouillon cube

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the chicken in an ovensafe baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use tongs to turn the chicken and evenly coat. Bake for 15 minutes until browned but not cooked all the way through (it will finish cooking with the rice).
  • Meanwhile, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rice and stir to coat.
  • Toast the rice, stirring occasionally, until it is lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the onion and garlic and continue cooking until the rice is just lightly browned and the vegetables are starting to soften, about 2 minutes more. Make sure the garlic does not brown.
  • Add the tomato sauce, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, bouillon and 3 cups water. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the chicken to the rice in an even layer, skin-side up and not overlapping. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
