ARROZ CON POLLO (DOMINICAN STYLE CHICKEN & RICE)



Arroz Con Pollo (Dominican Style Chicken & Rice) image

One pot--so simple! My MIL, who is from the Dominican Republic, has ALWAYS made this. Every since the very first time she made it for me, it has been my FAVORITE dish. Even my kids, ages 12 & 5 and are incredibly picky, will eat this meal. We usually make it with a side salad and fried Plantains like in Recipe #187281. Oh and the house smells incredible while this is cooking!

Pollo Guisado (Dominican Stewed Chicken) image

After spending many years living in the Dominican Republic, nothing takes me back more than making a big batch of pollo guisado, the most tender, flavorful chicken you'll ever eat. Serve this with Dominican rice and beans and a slice of fresh avocado. The hard-to-find Dominican ingredients can easily be ordered online.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, skin removed and cut into pieces
¼ cup rancho adobo sazon criollo, or to taste
1 red onion, chopped into large pieces
2 Cubanelle peppers, chopped
¼ cup sazon liquido
1 tablespoon garlic paste
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
⅓ cup tomato paste
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder, or more to taste
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Place chicken pieces in a bowl and season generously with ranchero sazon criollo. Add onion, Cubanelle peppers, sazon liquido, and garlic paste. Toss to coat chicken evenly.
  • Put oil in the bottom of a heavy pot. Add brown sugar and do not stir. Turn heat to medium-high and cook until sugar is very, very dark brown but not burned, 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully add chicken pieces to the pot 1 at a time, reserving vegetables and any liquid left in the bowl. Stir chicken, coating each piece with sugar-oil mixture. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste, celery, and bouillon powder to the pot and stir to combine. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Let stew until chicken is cooked and tender, 15 to 30 minutes.
