Arroz Con Pollo Delicioso Recipes

ARROZ CON POLLO

Steps:

• Rinse the rice and place in a bowl. Cover with warm water and let it soak for 15 minutes.
• While the rice is soaking, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large cazuela or pot. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for 5 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.
• Now it is time to cook the rice. Drain the rice using a strainer and shake to make sure it doesn't have any excess moisture. Before adding the rice to the cazuela, make sure that there is only about one tablespoon of oil in it. If you see more oil or fat from the chicken in the cazuela, remove it, since too much oil will render a mushy rice. Now, stir in the rice and cook over medium high heat for 3 minutes.
• Add the diced carrots and the chopped onions. Cook for 3 more minutes.
• Place the chopped tomato and garlic in your blender along with ¾ cups of warm water and process until smooth.
• Pour this mixture over the rice and let it cook for a couple of minutes. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat, season with salt, add the chicken pieces, and cover the pot. Cook for 1 minute, then add the cilantro sprigs and the drained green peas (see note above). Keep cooking for 6-8 more minutes.
• After you are done cooking, remove the Arroz con Pollo pot from the heat and let it rest for 12-15 more minutes. Some cooks cover the pot with a kitchen towel in order to absorb all the moisture from the rice.

ARROZ CON POLLO

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.

ARROZ CON POLLO - DELICIOSO STYLE

Steps:

• Put the chicken, quartered onion, 1 cup of the chicken broth, the beer, adobo, Worcestershire sauce, half of the cilantro and the garlic into a large pot or skillet over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside to cool. Once it is cool, remvoe the meat from the bones, shred it and set it aside. Discard the skin and bones. Strain the broth into a bowl through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the onion pieces.
• Pour the broth into a measuring cup and add enough of the remaining 3 cups of chicken broth to equal 4 cups. Return it to the pot and add the rice, peas, carrots, green beans, ketchup and salt. Stir well and bring to a boil. Let the liquid evaporate to just below the level of the rice, about 10 minutes, and then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender and fully cooked - about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and the sliced onions and cook until they are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the shredded chicken to the veggies. Cook until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and add the chicken and veggies to the rice mixture. Stir in the olives, sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and serve!
