ARROZ CON POLLO



Arroz Con Pollo image

Variations on this staple chicken and rice casserole, an easy one-pot meal, can be found throughout Spain and Latin America. The first step is to brown the cut-up chicken well on all sides. Saute the onions, garlic, green peppers and diced ham; then add the tomatoes, saffron, bay leaf and chicken broth. When the mixture comes to a boil, the rice, capers, olives and chicken are added. The dish cooks, covered tightly, in 20 minutes. To get the most authentic flavor, use high-quality saffron threads.

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 (4 to 6 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cloves garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 cup rice
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 cups chicken stock, or as needed to cover
1 cup green peas
½ cup sliced black olives
½ cup raisins
¼ cup chopped pimento peppers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir chicken pieces until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. Cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, minced garlic, and whole garlic cloves in the same Dutch oven until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Return chicken to the onion mixture. Add tomatoes, rice, salt, oregano, black pepper, and bay leaf. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover all the ingredients.
  • Bake chicken-rice mixture in the preheated oven until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Stir peas, olives, raisins, and pimento peppers into the chicken-rice mixture. Bake until warmed through, an additional 15 minutes.

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 pieces chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on
4 chicken drumsticks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Paprika or smoked sweet paprika
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup 2-inch pieces vermicelli pasta
Generous pinch saffron threads
2 cups chicken stock
5 ounces thick-cut speck, smoky ham or Serrano ham, diced
1 large onion or 2 medium onions, chopped
2 to 3 ribs celery, chopped
2 bell peppers, 1 red and 1 green
2 chile peppers, red or green, seeded and finely chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 large ripe heirloom or organic beefsteak tomato, cored and chopped
1 slightly mounded cup long grain rice

Steps:

  • Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and paprika, add to a pre-heated large, shallow pot with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Once browned, remove the chicken to a plate and drain off the fat. Add butter to the pot and melt. Brown the pasta 2 minutes or until golden, remove to plate and reserve.
  • Place the saffron and chicken stock in a small pot and warm it up to steep the saffron threads.
  • Once the pasta is browned and has been removed from the pot, add the remaining tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, and brown the ham, about 2 minutes. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, hot peppers, garlic and bay leaf to the pan. Cook 5 to 6 minutes to soften up a bit, then add the tomatoes, rice. Stir in the pasta and warm saffron stock. Add the chicken and cover the pot, cook 18 minutes, until rice is tender. Serve or cool completely and store for make-ahead meal.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the dish in the oven until heated through. To reheat: Add 1/2 cup stock or water, sprinkled around the pan. If made-ahead and reheated, the rice will become crunchy on top and at the edges, but this can be a plus in the texture of the dish.

ARROZ CON POLLO



Arroz con Pollo image

Ubiquitous throughout Latin America and beyond, this dish can be as simple or as complex as your ingredients allow. The key is to layer flavor, adding dimension as you go. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are preferred, but bone-in will also work well. (Chicken breasts lack the same amount of fat and flavor, so they are not recommended here.) Watch the rice carefully as it cooks, absorbing the liquid, as pots and stoves vary greatly. If it starts to smell a little burned, reduce the heat, toss and put the lid on the pot. But don't worry, as this aroma can be part of creating the coveted pegao, a layer of toasted rice that develops on the bottom of the pan and sticks to it, similar to Persian tahdig, Spanish socarrat or Senegalese xoon.

Categories     dinner, grains and rice, poultry, vegetables, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

3 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 cups medium-grain white rice
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or water)
2 1/2 to 3 cups fresh sofrito (see recipe below)
3 dried bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground annatto or sweet paprika
1 cup tomato sauce (basic canned tomato sauce is fine)
3/4 cup medium pimento-stuffed olives, drained (optional)
2 teaspoons drained capers (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 lime, cut into wedges
Salted, sliced avocado and tomato, for serving
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into quarters
3 ají dulce or amarillo peppers (or mini bell peppers), seeded and coarsely chopped
6 large garlic cloves
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
6 fresh culantro leaves and tender stems, coarsely chopped (see Note)
6 fresh cilantro stems, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the adobo by whisking the ingredients together in a bowl, or blending in a small food processor, pilón or mortar and pestle.
  • Pat the chicken dry, then place in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour prepared adobo over chicken. Toss well to combine, then cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, or seal the bag, and let the chicken rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. If you have the time, marinate for several hours or overnight to make the chicken extra tender and flavorful.
  • Prepare the sofrito: In a large food processor or blender, blend the peppers and garlic until smooth. Add the onion and blend until smooth, then add the culantro and cilantro and blend until smooth. (The preparation may produce more sofrito than needed for this recipe, but you can store additional sofrito in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.)
  • Add the rice to a medium bowl, then rinse with several rounds of cool water, pouring through a fine-mesh strainer until water runs out clear.
  • Once chicken is marinated, heat olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high. When the oil is simmering, working in batches if necessary, add chicken in one layer and brown for 7 to 10 minutes per batch, turning several times to evenly brown.
  • Meanwhile, bring chicken broth (or water) to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce to a simmer until ready to use.
  • Add sofrito, bay leaves and annatto or paprika to pot with chicken and stir well. Reduce heat to medium, and sauté until liquid is mostly evaporated and sofrito thickens to a paste, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Add tomato sauce and cook for 3 to 5 minutes longer, until the sauce darkens. Add the rinsed rice, olives and capers (if using), and salt and pepper, and fold in to ensure that the rice is fully coated and the chicken is evenly distributed.
  • Pour in hot stock, then simmer, uncovered, over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring only 2 to 3 times and shaking the pot every few minutes to keep rice level. (The liquid surrounding the rice will lower by about 1 inch.) Watch the rice very closely: The window between just right and overcooked is small, and difficult to predict, but you'll become an expert at this over time.
  • Once you start to spot lots of little bubbles on the surface but see no more pronounced liquid on top, top with the lid, reduce heat to low and cook until the rice is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes, shaking pot a few times. Once liquid is almost entirely evaporated, sprinkle thawed peas on top.
  • Working directly in the pot, using 2 forks, pull apart chicken thighs until shredded. Gently fluff the rice, bringing grains from the bottom to the top. Return the lid and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with lime wedges, and serve with salted avocado and tomato slices (or a simple green salad). The dish keeps well in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
