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.

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup long-grain rice
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 chicken bouillon cube

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the chicken in an ovensafe baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use tongs to turn the chicken and evenly coat. Bake for 15 minutes until browned but not cooked all the way through (it will finish cooking with the rice).
  • Meanwhile, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rice and stir to coat.
  • Toast the rice, stirring occasionally, until it is lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in the onion and garlic and continue cooking until the rice is just lightly browned and the vegetables are starting to soften, about 2 minutes more. Make sure the garlic does not brown.
  • Add the tomato sauce, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, bouillon and 3 cups water. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the chicken to the rice in an even layer, skin-side up and not overlapping. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons of oil
6 drumsticks (mix and match with thighs, wings if desired)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1/3 cup of homemade sofrito
2 garlic cloves (minced (optional))
1/4 cup of cilantro (chopped (optional))
4 oz of tomato sauce
1-2 packets of Goya Sazon packet
2 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon of adobo (optional)

2 cups of long grain rice
2 1/2 cups of chicken broth (or water with 2 teaspoons of chicken bullion)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, season your chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano. Let sit for ten minutes.
  • Into a large heavy bottom caldero or dutch oven pan, heat your oil over medium high heat. Then add in your chicken. Brown both sides of chicken, about 3-4 minutes per side. Next, add in everything except for the rice and broth. Mix it all together, and allow to cook for about three minutes.
  • After three minutes, stir in the rice, allow the rice to absorb all of the sauce for about 1-2 minutes before adding in the broth. Stir rice and broth together, allow it to come to a light boil, for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once you're able to see the grains of rice just at the surface, you will lower your heat to medium low, COVER your pot, and let it cook for 20-30 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, check on your rice, if there is still any liquid or your rice isn't as soft as desired, let it cook an additional 5-10 minutes. Once liquid is absorbed and rice is soft, remove from heat, let it sit for 5 minutes before giving it a GENTLE fluff with a fork, then serve immediately.

Arroz con pollo y brócoli al limón is a popular Spanish rice recipe that is made with chicken, broccoli, and lemon. This dish is perfect for any occasion and can be made with various ingredients to add flavor and texture. Making this dish requires simple ingredients and cooking techniques, but there are some valuable tips that can help make the best arroz con pollo y brócoli al limón.

Tip 1: Use Chicken Thighs

When making arroz con pollo y brócoli al limón, using chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts will provide the dish with a more flavorful and moist chicken. Chicken thighs have a higher fat content than chicken breasts, which makes them tender and juicy when cooked. They also have a stronger taste, which will help to enhance the flavors of the dish.

Tip 2: Use High-Quality Broth

The broth is a crucial ingredient when making arroz con pollo y brócoli al limón. It helps to flavor the rice and provide moisture to the chicken and vegetables. Using a high-quality broth, whether homemade or store-bought, will improve the overall taste of the dish. If you are using a store-bought broth, make sure to choose one that is low in sodium and free of any preservatives.

Tip 3: Cook Rice Separately

Cooking the rice separately from the rest of the dish will help to avoid the rice becoming too mushy and losing its texture. To do this, cook the rice according to its instructions in a separate pot, and then mix it with the rest of the ingredients once everything is cooked. This will ensure that the rice maintains its texture and does not become soggy.

Tip 4: Use Lemon Zest

Using lemon zest will help to give the arroz con pollo y brócoli al limón a fresh and citrusy flavor. Zest the lemon before juicing it and add the zest to the dish while cooking to infuse the flavor throughout the dish. This will help to balance out the heavy flavors of the chicken and rice and give the dish a refreshing twist.

Tip 5: Use Fresh Broccoli

Fresh broccoli will provide a crisp texture and vibrant green color to the dish. When buying broccoli, make sure to look for florets that are firm and have a bright green color. Avoid buying broccoli that has any discoloration or is soft to the touch. Before adding the broccoli to the dish, make sure to wash and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

Tip 6: Use a Dutch Oven

A Dutch oven is a perfect pot for making arroz con pollo y brócoli al limón. The heavy lid of the pot helps to distribute heat evenly throughout the dish, and the pot's size helps to prevent overcrowding. Overcrowding the pot can cause the ingredients to steam instead of brown, which can result in a less flavorful dish.

Tip 7: Season and Taste Along the Way

Seasoning is essential when making any dish, and arroz con pollo y brócoli al limón is no exception. Adding salt, pepper, and other spices to each ingredient as you go along will help to build layers of flavors in the dish. Taste the dish as you go along and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Adding too much salt can be corrected by adding a squeeze of lemon, which will balance out the flavors.
Conclusion
In conclusion, arroz con pollo y brócoli al limón is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by all. By using chicken thighs, high-quality broth, lemon zest, fresh broccoli, and a Dutch oven and cooking the rice separately, you can elevate the dish to the next level. Don't forget to season and taste along the way to ensure that the flavors are balanced and delicious. With these valuable tips, you can make the best arroz con pollo y brócoli al limón.
