Arroz Con Pollo Recipe



Ingredients
Chicken
  1. 3 Tbsp olive oil
  2. 1 broiler-fryer chicken, about 2 1/2-3 pounds, cut into serving pieces, or 2 1/2 to 3 pounds of chicken thighs or breasts, bone-in, with skin on, rinsed and patted dry
  3. 1/2 cup of flour for dredging
  4. Salt
  5. Freshly ground black pepper
  6. Paprika
Rice
  1. 2 tablespoons olive oil (can use up to 1/4 cup)
  2. 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  3. 1 garlic clove, minced
  4. 2 cups of medium or long-grain white rice
  5. 3 cups* chicken stock
  6. 1 heaping tablespoon tomato paste or 1 cup of diced fresh or cooked tomatoes, strained
  7. Pinch of oregano
  8. 1 teaspoon salt

  1. *Check the instructions on the rice package for the proportions of liquid to rice. They can range from :1 to 2:1. If your rice calls for 2 cups of water for every cup of rice, then for this recipe, use 4 cups of stock for 2 cups of rice.
Method
  • 1 Heat 3 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet (a skillet that has a cover) on medium high heat. Put the flour in a wide bowl, mix in a generous sprinkling of salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge the chicken pieces lightly in the flour mixture and put in the pan to brown. (You can skip the flour dredging part if you want. It just makes a nicer coating for the chicken.) Cook a few minutes on each side, just enough so that the chicken has browned. Use a slotted spoon to remove from pan and set aside.
  • 2 Add the rice to the pan to brown. Add a little more olive oil if necessary. Stir first to coat the rice with the olive oil in the pan. Then don't stir too much or you will prevent it from browning. Let it brown and then stir a little to let more of it brown. Then add the onion and garlic. Cook the onion, garlic and rice mixture, stirring frequently, until the onions have softened, about 4 minutes.
