Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs bone-in chicken pieces
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Step 1: Seasoning the Chicken

Start by seasoning the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, cumin powder, and paprika. Make sure to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.

Step 2: Browning the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3: Sautéing the Aromatics

In the same skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until they become tender and aromatic. Add the diced tomato and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 4: Adding Rice and Spices

Add the rice, saffron threads, and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir well to combine everything and allow the rice to toast for a couple of minutes.

Step 5: Cooking the Arroz con Pollo

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, keeping the heat on medium-high. Gently place the browned chicken on top of the rice mixture. Cover the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.

Step 6: Serving and Garnishing

Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld. Serve the Arroz con Pollo with a garnish of fresh cilantro and enjoy!
