Arroz Con Pollo

Step 1

Combine 2 tablespoons of the oil with the paprika, oregano, cumin, cayenne and salt and pepper to make a rub. Rub all over the chicken and allow to rest while you chop everything.

Step 2

Once you have sliced and diced everything heat a large dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat with the remaining oil. Brown the chicken on both sides and then add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce heat to medium.

Step 3

Cook until rice is soft and cooked through. (If using brown rice, this takes about 30 minutes, if white rice then 15)

Step 4

Remove the chicken and either shred or dice it and add it back to the pot.

Step 5

Serve with tortillas and cheddar cheese melted over the top.
