  • Arroz con Pollo - a staple dish in many Puerto Rican households that is affordable, easy, and HUGE in flavor! Enjoy!
    Ingredients:
    3 1/2 cups long grain rice
    2 - 3 lbs lightly seasoned chicken (chicken sections, deboned)
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    1/2 cup chopped white onion
    1 oz of either beef summer sausage, chopped pork bacon, or diced cooking ham
    1/4 cup sofrito (I have 2 sofrito videos on my channel!)
    2 garlic cloves, mashed
    1/2 cup tomato sauce
    2 tbsp diced pimientos
    Spanish olives or "alcaparrado"
    1 1/2 packets Goya Sazón
    1 chicken bouillon
    1/4 tsp oregano flakes
    1/2 tsp black pepper
    1 bay leaf
    1 tsp salt
    About 3 cups water (NOTE 🚨- If this doesn’t seem like enough water for 3.5 cups of long grain rice, remember, the chicken will continue to release moisture as the rice cooks! Therefore, adding less water for this specific rice dish will help prevent a mushy arroz con pollo! 🚨)

    Hola Mari, I made your Arroz con Pollo and it was just delicious. I don't cook as often as I used to because I lost my husband last year and it make me sad. But , it's a cold night tonight in the bay area and I needed some comfort food so I opened a bottle of wine and made your Arroz con Pollo and it was just pure delicious comfort. My Rafael would have loved it. Gracias Mija.
