How to Make Arroz Con Pollo Dominican Style Chicken Rice
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides.
- Add the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sofrito, tomato paste, and adobo seasoning. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast slightly.
- Pour in the chicken broth, water, and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Stir halfway through.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as a fresh salad and fried plantains.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
