Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 3 1/2-to-4-pound chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces and skin removed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken stock
1/2 cup tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Combine the salt, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper and cayenne in a plastic gallon bag. Shake until the mixture is well combined.
  • Pat the chicken dry and place in the bag with the spice mixture. Shake the bag, making sure the chicken is well coated.
  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch high-sided skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes each side. Transfer the chicken to a plate, using tongs.

Add 1 1/4 cups water and the stock mixture to the skillet and stir to make sure the rice is covered in liquid. Nestle the chicken in the rice, adding any juices from the plate. Bring the rice to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 35 minutes. Let the skillet stand covered, about 10 minutes before serving.

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

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.

Arroz con pollo y queso mozzarella a la sartén (Rice with chicken and mozzarella cheese in a pan) is a popular dish in Latin American cuisine. It is a simple yet delicious dish which can be prepared easily at home. However, there are some valuable tips that one should keep in mind while preparing this dish. This article will discuss some useful tips to make arroz con pollo y queso mozzarella a la sartén recipes that will be helpful for novice and experienced cooks.

Tip 1: Choosing the right chicken:

One of the key ingredients of this dish is chicken. It is important to choose the right chicken for arroz con pollo y queso mozzarella a la sartén. It is better to use chicken thighs or legs as they are more flavorful and tender compared to chicken breasts. Additionally, remove the skin and fat before cooking as it can make the dish greasy. Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces before cooking to ensure that they cook evenly.

Tip 2: Sautéing the chicken:

Once you have diced the chicken, it is important to sauté it properly. First, heat some oil in a pan and add the chicken. Sauté the chicken until it turns golden brown on all sides. Do not overcrowd the pan while sautéing as it can make the chicken release more moisture, which will make it hard to get a good sear.

Tip 3: Using the right type of rice:

Arroz con pollo y queso mozzarella a la sartén recipes require the use of the right type of rice. Medium-grain or short-grain rice is better for this dish as it absorbs more liquid and becomes creamy. Avoid using long-grain rice as it will not be able to absorb the liquid properly and may become dry.

Tip 4: Measuring the rice and liquid:

It is important to measure the rice and liquid accurately while making this dish. The ratio of rice to liquid should be 1:2. That is, for every one cup of rice, use two cups of liquid. You can use chicken broth instead of water to add more flavor to the dish. Additionally, keep a lid on the pan while cooking the rice to ensure that the rice absorbs the liquid evenly.

Tip 5: Adding the vegetables:

Arroz con pollo y queso mozzarella a la sartén recipes require the addition of vegetables. You can use vegetables like onions, peppers, and tomatoes. When adding the vegetables, sauté them in the same pan in which you sautéed the chicken. This will add more flavor to the dish.

Tip 6: Adding the cheese:

The final step in making arroz con pollo y queso mozzarella a la sartén is adding the cheese. Mozzarella cheese is commonly used in this dish as it melts easily and adds a creamy texture to the dish. Once the rice is cooked, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and cover the pan with a lid. Let it cook for a few minutes until the cheese melts completely.

Tip 7: Serving:

Once the cheese has melted, remove the pan from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes to cool down. Serve the arroz con pollo y queso mozzarella a la sartén hot with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
Conclusion:
Arroz con pollo y queso mozzarella a la sartén is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family dinner or a quick lunch. By following these valuable tips, you can make the perfect arroz con pollo y queso mozzarella a la sartén recipes that are sure to impress your guests. So, what are you waiting for? Get into the kitchen and start cooking!
