One of the basic ingredients in arroz con pollo is the chicken stock. Using canned chicken stock saves time, and the addition of fresh tomatoes and some savory spices will enhance the stock, resulting in mouthwatering arroz con pollo.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 2 cans chicken broth
  • Dried oregano
  • Salt
  • 1 (28 oz.) can of tomatoes (drained and chopped)
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp serrated knife
  • Spoon
  • Mixing bowl
Step1
Place the tomatoes on a cutting board and use a serrated knife to chop them into small pieces. Set aside. Pour 2 cans of chicken broth into the mixing bowl. Add 2 pinches of dried oregano.
Step2
Stir in about two pinches of salt. Mix in the chopped tomatoes and stir until the chicken stock is thoroughly blended.
Step3
Add the chicken stock to the arroz con pollo. To add extra flavor to the chicken stock, stir in some finely chopped garlic and onion. Chopped celery and carrots will add flavor and color to the chicken broth. Just simmer the mixture a few minutes so the vegetables will be tender. To add a deep green color to the chicken stock, garnish it with a bit of dried parsley.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you have extra chicken stock, freeze for later use. You can even freeze it in an ice cube tray, and have instant flavor enhancers to add to your favorite recipes.
