How to Make Arroz Con Pollo Chicken With Rice

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides.

3. Stir in diced tomatoes (undrained), rice, chicken broth, cumin, paprika, saffron (if using), cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
5. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
