My Mother's Arroz con Pollo Recipe

My mom is SUCH a good cook which has always given me inspiration to get into my own kitchen and serve up delicious meals just like she did for us growing up.<br /> <br /> Quite possibly my favorite dish is her Spanish Arroz con Pollo, basically a quick weekday paella minus the pork and seafood. The flavors are exploding and it's a one-pot meal which is a huge bonus for mess and time. It's sort of hard for me to leave exact instructions because I eye-ball a lot of judge the next steps based on the moment but I'll try because you need to have this.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibUGKyImmMMUllhx-2LZWAoOuMNhOfuU__51OXs-YvvxeofigiBvDEfehCzoZjpuIS0A9i9MFD-k8wO6pp402yPFMkYaZ_3OMPqVo7CzKDTnuAB_vILpee3T93X3g-Vjs3fwC68Jah73lv/s1600/DSC_0635.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="516" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibUGKyImmMMUllhx-2LZWAoOuMNhOfuU__51OXs-YvvxeofigiBvDEfehCzoZjpuIS0A9i9MFD-k8wO6pp402yPFMkYaZ_3OMPqVo7CzKDTnuAB_vILpee3T93X3g-Vjs3fwC68Jah73lv/s1600/DSC_0635.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Here is what you need:<br /> <br /> white rice<br /> 2-3 cloves of garlic<br /> chicken broth<br /> bone-in chicken breasts<br /> 1 red pepper<br /> 1 green pepper<br /> string beans cut to bite-size pieces<br /> peas (optional)<br /> 1 ripe juicy tomato<br /> 1 packet of Goya Sazon con azafran<br /> lemon for garnish<br /> <br /> Here is what you do:<br /> <br /> Salt your chicken pieces liberally<br /> Brown your chicken in a dutch oven with olive oil and the garlic cloves, removing the garlic once it's browned<br /> Once you've sealed in the moisture and flavor of the chicken by browning it all around, remove it from pan.<br /> In the same olive oil, sauté your peppers until soft and then add the string beans and peas if you desire<br /> Chop up the tomato and throw that in as well and add another clove or two of garlic<br /> Add about three - four cups of full flavor chicken broth (not the low sodium kind)<br /> Put your chicken back in the pot with the veggies and the broth and let it cook and take on the flavors<br /> Once it's almost cooked, it's time to add the rice. Follow the instruction on the bag on how much rice to add based on how much chicken broth you added.<br /> Add the packet of the Goya Sazon (this is what turns the rice yellow) and let the rice cook and absorb the delicious broth<br /> Once the rice is cooked, you're done!<br /> <br /> Serve with lemon and you'll have a serious fiesta going on in your mouth.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
