Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and place it on a serving platter. Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on top of the rice. Drizzle cheese dip over the chicken and rice, followed by a generous topping of pico de gallo.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve with guacamole salad on the side. Enjoy your delicious Arroz Con Pollo!
