Arroz con Pollo
One pan chicken and rice cooked in a chicken broth with South American infused flavor


Step 1/5
Marinate and Brown Chicken
- 150g Chicken Thigh
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Cumin
- 1/4 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
In a bowl, add your chicken and season with half the paprika, ground cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat and add in chicken thighs. Cook until browned on all sides (about 2-3 minutes each side) and remove from the pan.
Step 2/5
Cook Vegetables and Combine Ingredients
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 Small Onion
- 2 Garlic Clove
- 1/4 Red Bell Pepper
- 1/4 Green Bell Pepper
- 130g Diced Tomato
- 50g White Rice, Uncooked
Add more olive oil along with chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until onion is translucent (about 2-3 minutes). Stir in diced red and green bell peppers, and diced tomato. Cook for another 5 minutes medium heat until the vegetables are softened. Add the white rice and chicken from earlier to the skillet, stirring to combine with the chicken and vegetables.
Step 3/5
Simmer with Seasonings and Broth
- 1/4 tsp Cumin
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Oregano
- 150mL Chicken Broth
Add in the remaining ground cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper and toast for 30 seconds before pouring in chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
