Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons of oil
6 drumsticks (mix and match with thighs, wings if desired)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1/3 cup of homemade sofrito
2 garlic cloves (minced (optional))
1/4 cup of cilantro (chopped (optional))
4 oz of tomato sauce
1-2 packets of Goya Sazon packet
2 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon of adobo (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of long grain rice
2 1/2 cups of chicken broth (or water with 2 teaspoons of chicken bullion)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, season your chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano. Let sit for ten minutes.
  • Into a large heavy bottom caldero or dutch oven pan, heat your oil over medium high heat. Then add in your chicken. Brown both sides of chicken, about 3-4 minutes per side. Next, add in everything except for the rice and broth. Mix it all together, and allow to cook for about three minutes.
  • After three minutes, stir in the rice, allow the rice to absorb all of the sauce for about 1-2 minutes before adding in the broth. Stir rice and broth together, allow it to come to a light boil, for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once you're able to see the grains of rice just at the surface, you will lower your heat to medium low, COVER your pot, and let it cook for 20-30 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, check on your rice, if there is still any liquid or your rice isn't as soft as desired, let it cook an additional 5-10 minutes. Once liquid is absorbed and rice is soft, remove from heat, let it sit for 5 minutes before giving it a GENTLE fluff with a fork, then serve immediately.

ARROZ CON POLLO - DELICIOSO STYLE

This is an Ingrid Hoffmann recipe. She grew up eating this at least once a week in Columbia. She says that there are never leftovers when she makes this recipe. If you need a faster fix, you can use frozen mixed peas and carrots and frozen green beans instead of fresh.

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 -4 lbs chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces. Rinsed and patted dry
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 cups chicken broth, divided (homemade or low-sodium canned)
1 cup light beer
3 tablespoons adobo seasoning (not the sauce)
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup cilantro leaf, chopped, divided
6 garlic cloves, coarsley chopped
3 cups white rice
1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
2 medium carrots, finely diced
8 ounces green beans, trimmed and quartered
1 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, ribbed and thinly sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, ribbed and thinly sliced
1 cup pimento stuffed olive

Steps:

  • Put the chicken, quartered onion, 1 cup of the chicken broth, the beer, adobo, Worcestershire sauce, half of the cilantro and the garlic into a large pot or skillet over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside to cool. Once it is cool, remvoe the meat from the bones, shred it and set it aside. Discard the skin and bones. Strain the broth into a bowl through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the onion pieces.
  • Pour the broth into a measuring cup and add enough of the remaining 3 cups of chicken broth to equal 4 cups. Return it to the pot and add the rice, peas, carrots, green beans, ketchup and salt. Stir well and bring to a boil. Let the liquid evaporate to just below the level of the rice, about 10 minutes, and then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender and fully cooked - about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and the sliced onions and cook until they are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the shredded chicken to the veggies. Cook until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and add the chicken and veggies to the rice mixture. Stir in the olives, sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and serve!

I was taught by my Peruvian mother-in-law how to cook some of my husband's favorite meals. I have perfected one of her dishes...she even says it is better then hers!

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     South American     Peruvian

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
6 chicken thighs, skinned and patted dry
6 chicken drumsticks with skin, patted dry
salt and black pepper to taste
1 ½ bunches fresh cilantro, leaves picked from stems
6 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 aji (Peruvian) pepper, seeded and deveined
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ cup orange juice
2 cups uncooked white rice
2 onions, chopped
½ cup white wine
3 ½ cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
1 bell pepper, any color, sliced into rings
¾ cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Place two large skillets over medium heat, pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into each, and heat the oil until it ripples. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, divide between the two skillets, and fry until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Use screens over the skillets, if needed, to control spattering. Remove the chicken from the skillets, and drain on paper towels.
  • Place the cilantro leaves, garlic, aji pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and orange juice into a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into one of the skillets, bring to a simmer, and cook and stir over medium-low heat until the mixture turns from bright to dark green, about 5 minutes.
  • Place the chopped onions into the other skillet, and cook and stir over medium-low heat until the onions turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the rice, and cook and stir until the rice starts to turn opaque, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the white wine into the blender and pulse a few times to rinse off any extra cilantro mixture from the blender, and pour the wine into the skillet containing the cilantro mixture. Bring the mixture back to a simmer over medium heat, scrape the rice and onions into the cilantro mixture, stir in the chicken broth and black pepper, and bring to a boil. Place the browned chicken pieces and carrots into the skillet, stir to combine, and cover. Reduce heat, and cook until the rice is separate and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, place the pepper rings on the rice, and sprinkle with frozen peas. Cover and cook without stirring until the peppers and peas are tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover the skillet and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup long-grain rice
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 chicken bouillon cube

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the chicken in an ovensafe baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use tongs to turn the chicken and evenly coat. Bake for 15 minutes until browned but not cooked all the way through (it will finish cooking with the rice).
  • Meanwhile, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rice and stir to coat.
  • Toast the rice, stirring occasionally, until it is lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the onion and garlic and continue cooking until the rice is just lightly browned and the vegetables are starting to soften, about 2 minutes more. Make sure the garlic does not brown.
  • Add the tomato sauce, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, bouillon and 3 cups water. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the chicken to the rice in an even layer, skin-side up and not overlapping. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
