Instructions

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.

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

Serve

Serve the arroz con pollo hot, optionally garnished with fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves.
