Pollo Saltado Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Cook the white rice according to package instructions. Set aside when done.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fries

    In a separate pot or fryer, prepare the fries according to package instructions or fry until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
