Arroz Con Pollo Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   In a large pot or skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and cumin. Add the chicken to the pot and brown on both sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add chopped onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

3. 3

   Cook the Rice

   Add the yellow rice to the pot and stir well to coat with the oil and vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth and add saffron if using. Bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Combine and Simmer

   Return the browned chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.

5. 5

   Add Peas

   In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas to the pot, mixing gently. Allow to finish cooking.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve hot with French fries on the side and a fresh salad.
