CHICKEN WITH RICE (ARROZ CON POLLO)

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/4 cup Achiote Oil, recipe follows
1 (3 to 4-pound) chicken, cut into 10 pieces
Fine sea or kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Sofrito, recipe follows
1/4 cup alcaparrado or coarsely chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch ground cloves
4 cups long-grain rice
5 cups homemade or store-bought reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 large bottled roasted red peppers, cut into 1/4-inch strips (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons achiote (annatto) seeds, see Cook's Note*
2 medium Spanish onions (about 12 ounces), cut into large chunks
3 to 4 Italian frying peppers or Cubanelle peppers, cored, seeded and cut into large chunks
16 to 20 cloves garlic, peeled
1 large bunch cilantro, washed
7 to 10 ajices dulces (see Cook's Note*), optional
4 leaves culantro (see Cook's Note*), optional
3 to 4 ripe plum tomatoes (about 1 pound), cored and cut into chunks
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into large chunks

Steps:

  • In a paella pan or wide, shallow pan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the Achiote Oil over medium-high heat until the oil is rippling. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add as many pieces skin side down to the pan as fit without touching. Cook, turning as necessary, until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the pieces as they are done and set aside. Adjust the heat under the pan, especially after you start removing chicken, so the chicken browns without the oil darkening.
  • When all the chicken is removed from the pan, add the Sofrito and alcaparrado. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high and boil until most of the water is evaporated from the Sofrito. Add the cumin and cloves.
  • Stir in the rice until coated with oil. Return the chicken to the pan, pour in enough broth to cover the rice by the width of 2 fingers (about 1-inch), and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until the level of liquid reaches the rice. Stir gently and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook until the liquid is absorbed, the chicken is cooked through, and the rice is tender but firm, about 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork. The arroz con pollo can be brought to the table right in the pan or transferred to a large serving platter. Either way, garnish with the red pepper before serving.
  • Heat the oil and annatto seeds in a small skillet over medium heat just until the seeds give off a lively, steady sizzle. Don't overheat the mixture or the seeds will turn black and the oil will turn a nasty green. Once they're sizzling, remove the pan from the heat and let stand until the sizzling stops. Strain and reserve in a jar with a tight-fitting lid at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • Chop the onion and Cubanelle or Italian peppers in the work bowl of a food processor until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, add the remaining ingredients 1 at a time and process until smooth. The sofrito will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It also freezes beautifully.

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 (4 to 6 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cloves garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 cup rice
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 cups chicken stock, or as needed to cover
1 cup green peas
½ cup sliced black olives
½ cup raisins
¼ cup chopped pimento peppers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir chicken pieces until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. Cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, minced garlic, and whole garlic cloves in the same Dutch oven until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

One pot--so simple! My MIL, who is from the Dominican Republic, has ALWAYS made this. Every since the very first time she made it for me, it has been my FAVORITE dish. Even my kids, ages 12 & 5 and are incredibly picky, will eat this meal. We usually make it with a side salad and fried Plantains like in Recipe #187281. Oh and the house smells incredible while this is cooking!

ARROZ CON POLLO



Arroz con Pollo image

Provided by Food Network

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.

Tips:

  • If you don't have achiote oil, use annatto seeds instead. Toast them in a pan until fragrant, then crush them and add them to the oil.
  • To make the rice even more flavorful, use chicken broth instead of water.
  • If you want a spicier dish, add some chopped chili peppers to the pot along with the chicken.
  • Garnish the finished dish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
  • Serve arroz con pollo with a side of beans, plantains, or salad.

Conclusion:

Arroz con pollo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its flavorful rice, tender chicken, and colorful vegetables, arroz con pollo is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
