How to Make Arroz Con Pollo Rice With Chicken
- Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp cumin, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the chicken: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Remove chicken and set aside.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the onion and bell pepper to the wok and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add rice and spices: Stir in the rice, garlic, tomato paste, and remaining spices. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Incorporate broth and chicken: Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the cooked chicken. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Garnish and serve: Fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
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!
