- 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.

ARROZ CON POLLO
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.

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
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.

Tips
1. Use the right rice
The key to making perfect arroz non pollo is using the right type of rice. Short-grain rice works best for this dish, as it absorbs moisture well and becomes tender without getting sticky. You can use different types of short-grain rice such as Calasparra or Bomba rice, which are known for their flavor and texture. Make sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch and dirt.
2. Pick the right vegetables
When it comes to making arroz non pollo, the choice of vegetables is crucial. You can use a variety of vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, peas, and green beans, to add flavor and texture to the dish. Make sure to chop the vegetables into small equal sizes to ensure even cooking. You can also add some spices such as saffron, garlic, and paprika to enhance the flavor of the dish.
3. Cook the vegetables separately
To ensure that the vegetables retain their texture and flavor, it is best to cook them separately from the rice. Start by sautéing the vegetables in a pan with a little bit of oil until they are tender. You can add the spices at this stage if you'd like. Once the vegetables are cooked, set them aside and proceed to cook the rice.
4. Use good quality vegetable stock
The quality of the vegetable stock you use can affect the flavor of the arroz non pollo. It is best to use homemade vegetable stock or high-quality vegetable bouillon cubes for the best results. You can also add some white wine to the stock to give the dish a unique flavor, but this is optional.
5. Cook the rice separately
Unlike other rice dishes, the rice for arroz non pollo is usually cooked separately from the vegetables. To do this, heat some oil in a paella pan, and add the rice, stirring it for a minute until it is coated with the oil. Add the vegetable stock, and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover the pan with a lid. Cook the rice for around 15-20 minutes until it is soft and has absorbed all the liquid.
6. Add the vegetables and flavorings
Once the rice is cooked, add the cooked vegetables to the pan and mix them well. You can also add some saffron and paprika at this stage to enhance the flavor of the dish. Turn up the heat for a few more minutes, until the rice is a little bit crispy on the bottom, then remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
7. Use a good quality paella pan
To ensure that the arroz non pollo is cooked evenly and has a nice crispy bottom, it is best to use a good quality paella pan. These pans are made of thin metal, which allows for even cooking and prevents the rice from sticking to the bottom. The size of the pan will depend on the number of people you are cooking for, so make sure to choose the right size before starting.
Conclusion
Making a delicious and healthy arroz non pollo is not difficult if you follow these tips. Remember to use the right rice, cook the vegetables separately, use good quality vegetable stock, and a good quality paella pan. With these tips, you'll make a perfect vegetarian rice dish that your whole family will enjoy.
