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
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
Add 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 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add long-grain 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
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.
Step 4/5
Fluff and Adjust Seasoning
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and taste for seasoning, adjusting as needed.
Step 5/5
