Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 21

5 ½ cups chicken stock, divided
1 lime, juiced
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 mini sweet pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 annatto seeds, or more to taste
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
2 bay leaves
2 cups medium-grain rice
1 cup diced tomato
1 cup frozen green peas
1 onion, chopped
½ cup pitted green olives
¼ cup capers
2 tablespoons adobo seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Blend 1 cup chicken stock with lime juice, bell pepper, sweet pepper, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, and oregano to make the sofrito.
  • Combine olive oil and annatto seeds in a large skillet over medium heat. Heat until seeds start to open up and oil turns a yellow-orange color, 3 to 4 minutes. Add enough chicken to cover the pan in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook, turning halfway, until juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Combine remaining chicken stock, 1/2 of the sofrito, and bay leaves in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Stir in rice, tomato, green peas, onion, green olives, capers, adobo seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the cooked chicken to the broth. Saute remaining chicken in the annatto oil before adding to the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes more.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅔ cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock, divided, or more to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 medium lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  • Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This will remove the starch and help the rice to cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of the two is a great option.
  • Add some vegetables. Chopped onions, bell peppers, carrots, or celery are all great additions to this dish.
  • Season the dish to taste. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender. This will take about 20 minutes.
  • Serve immediately. Asopao de pollo is best enjoyed fresh out of the pot.

Conclusion:

Asopao de 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 broth, tender rice, and succulent chicken, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give Asopao de pollo a try.
