Make A Simple Arroz Con Pollo

Arroz Con Pollo (rice with chicken) is a nourishing and delicious Spanish dish.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

To make Arroz Con Pollo, you will need a large pot with a tight fitting lid. In the pot, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is golden.
Step 2

To the pot, add the chicken pieces, the salt,(remember to adjust the salt depending on the saltiness of your stock) the pepper, the paprika, and the parsley. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the chicken, until it is nicely browned on all sides. Add the bay leaves.
Step 3

Add the chicken stock. You can use plain water but the spices will have to be adjusted accordingly. Stir gently and when the mixture is boiling again, add the saffron powder. Sprinkle on the rice, very slowly, so the water does not stop boiling.
Step 4

Reduce the heat and cover the pot tightly. The mixture must now boil gently for about 40 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes or just often enough to prevent the mixture from sticking. Adjust the seasonings. Add the pimiento before the last 10 minutes.
Step 5

Cook the frozen peas in the microwave so they will be ready when the chicken is. Stir the cooked peas into the Arroz con Pollo. Remove the bay leaves. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve. Enjoy!
