Arroz Con Pollo (Rice With Chicken) image

My neighbour gave me this recipe as we were renovating the kitchen and I didn't have an oven for 6 months. I cooked everything outside on the BBQ and luckily I had a Wok burner connected to the BBQ. This dish is very easy and very yummy. I think Arroz con Pollo means 'Rice with Chicken' in Spanish. Enjoy we did :)
