Is there a more typical Latino dish out there like Arroz Con Pollo, I don’t think so! Practically every Latin and Hispanic country has their own version of this tasty plate. Here is the Tico version of it.
INGREDIENTS
2 large chicken breasts
3 cups rice
1 onion,finely chopped
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
1 small can of peas
3 carrots, diced
1/2 pound of string beans, sliced
1/4 teaspoon of achiote (paprika)
2 tablespoons oil
salt to taste
SUPPLIES
Large cooking pot
strainer
frying pan
bowl
Cook It Up!
Fill the cooking pot with 4 cups of water and place the chicken, half of the onion and half of the bell pepper and salt. Cook until chicken is tender.
Let cool.
Strain the juice into the bowl and add another 2 cups of water.
Discard the bones of the chicken and shred it up.
In a frying pan heat up the oil with achiote and saute the rest of the onion and bell pepper.
Place the juice with the extra water into the soup pot again, add rice, the shredded chicken, and the sauteed onion and pepper. Cook until rice is done.
Serve it Up!
This dish, like all other Tico creations, is served with the cabbage salad and tortillas.
What is Arroz Con Pollo? Wikipedia will tell you!
Add a Pinch of Imagination and a Sprinkle of Creativity! (variations)
Simply Recipes has a completely different take on it then mine. They fry their chicken. I don’t know about you, but I love fried chicken!
Vacation City and I almost see eye to eye on the recipes. They have a bit more color and veggies added to the mix.
