CUBAN CHICKEN



Cuban Chicken image

An unusual combination of ingredients. Yummy! Serve over rice. You can put rice into the pot to cook with everything else, but add 2 cups chicken broth and simmer 20 minutes until the rice is done. One fewer pot to wash!

Categories     Main Dish

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 tablespoon olive oil plant-based butter ((recommend Country Crock plant-based products))
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 bay leaves
2 chicken breasts, deboned and cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 piquillo pepper, chopped
1/2 cup Spanish olives, sliced
1 pinch saffron
1 teaspoon yellow rice condiment
1 pinch black pepper
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
2 cups long grain rice ((recommend Mahatma Rice))
1 cup chicken stock ((canned or homemade))
3 cups warm water
2 cups frozen peas
3 tomatoes on the vine, sliced
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon mayonnaise ((recommend Hellman's Real Mayonnaise))
1 pinch italian seasoning
4 cups cold water
1/2 cup Lipton Aguas Frescas pineapple mango flavor
1 cup frappe ice
2 slices pineapple, cut into chunks
2 cherries
1 scoop vanilla ice cream ((we recommend Breyer's ice cream))
4 strawberries, sliced
4 coconut cookies

Steps:

  • Place the pot on the stove over low-medium heat and add the olive oil plant-based butter along with the olive oil to avoid the butter to burn. Sautee the bay leaves to revive the flavor.
  • Add the chicken breast chunks and cook. Add the garlic, the piquillo peppers, and the olives. Season with the saffron and the yellow rice condiment. Stir and add the rice.
  • Incorporate the chicken stock, the chicken bouillon, and two and a half cups of warm water. Stir slowly and cover with a lid. Let the rice cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • As a final step add the frozen peas and the rest of the water which should be warm and no more than half of a cup. Cover again with the lid and cook the rice for another five minutes. When the rice has an al dente texture it is ready.
  • Serve the rice with sweet plantains. We used frozen plantains and cook them in the oven. Add a salad using tomato slices and cucumbers. Dress with Hellman's Real Mayonnaise and Italian seasoning.
  • Slice a Cuban bread and spread each slice with Country Crock almond plant-based butter spread. Bake for 2-3 minutes and serve warm.
