Need a dinner that’s as fast and easy as it is delicious to make, but tired of the same-old-same-old? Why not try arroz con pollo? Here’s how you whip it up.
Get the Ingredients.
Obviously, if you’re going to make arroz con pollo, you need to have the ingredients. Grab about seven pieces of chicken, two green bell peppers, two onions, two tomatoes, two cloves of garlic, one bunch of cilantro, one cup of uncooked rice, two cups of water, and half a teaspoon of salt.
Cook the Chicken.
Now that you’ve got everything you need to make arroz con pollo, preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and spread your chicken evenly over a pan. Cook it on the middle rack for about 50 minutes. To make sure the chicken is done, stick a meat thermometer in. If it reads anything higher than 170 degrees, it’s done.
Prep the Vegetables.
Now it’s time to get your veggies ready. Cut the tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, and cilantro very finely. If you have a food processor, you might want to use that to churn them into a coarse puree. This is called a sofrito.
Once they’re prepped, put them in a pot and heat them on the stove on high for about 10 minutes.
Cook Your Rice.
In a pot with a lid, boil your cup of rice with two cups of water, and throw in the salt, too. Once it’s boiling, cover it and reduce the heat, letting it simmer for about 20 minutes, until the rice has absorbed the water.
Feast.
Put a serving of rice on a plate. Then, put the chicken on it, cover it all with sofrito, and enjoy your arroz con pollo!
