ARROZ CON POLLO (CHICKEN WITH RICE)

Steps:

• Season chicken breast with salt and pepper.
• Brown chicken in skillet, 2-3 minutes on each side (with a little bit of oil in skillet so that it wont stick).
• When it's chicken is browned, remove from skillet; set aside. Cut into pieces when cool enough.
• In the same skillet, put shortening or Lard, let it melt. When melted, add green peppers and onion (use as little or as much as you like). Saute about 2 minutes.
• Add rice. Fry rice until golden brown.
• Add salt, pepper, cumin and minced garlic (or garlic powder, not garlic salt), be careful not to burn garlic.
• Add chicken, toss to coat with seasonings.
• Add hot water, slowly -- then add chicken bouillon and then tomato sauce. (don't have to use all of can, I usually use about 3/4 of the can).
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. DO NOT UNCOVER AT ALL UNTIL ALL OF THE WATER IS EVAPORATED. This is the secret!
• When the water is just about evaporated, turn heat off and keep on stove until completely evaporated.
• Remove from skillet into a serving dish and keep covered until ready to serve.
• Serve with beans and homemade tortillas!
• *On the seasonings, I don't normally measure, I just dash here and there to my taste. If not using garlic cloves, use garlic powder NOT garlic salt. You have to keep doing it until you get it perfect. I have been making this for about 25+ years and sometimes it comes out perfect, sometimes is still needs something! Keep practicing, you'll get it!
