My Mother’s Arroz con Pollo Recipe

7 Jan 2021 Recipes, Uncategorized

My mom is SUCH a good cook which has always given me inspiration to get into my own kitchen and serve up delicious meals just like she did for us growing up. My mother is part Spanish and spent a lot of her childhood in Spain, in the city of Valencia and the mountain town of Murla. We had the opportunity to spend many summers there when I was growing up and I loved it! The culture, the people, it was amazing to be exposed to such a different way of life at such a young age. I think that time fostered a love for travel in me, and I can’t wait to bring my little crew around the world when we are able.

Quite possibly one my favorite dishes that my mom makes is her Spanish Arroz con Pollo, basically a quick weekday paella with chicken. The flavor is incredible and it’s a one-pot meal which is a huge bonus for mess and time.

Course Main Course

Ingredients

  • 3 cups white rice
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2-3 clove garlic
  • 2-3 bone-in chicken breasts
  • 2 red peppers
  • 2 green peppers
  • 2 cups string beans cut to bite-size pieces
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tomato
  • 2 packets Goya Sazon con azafran
  • 1 lemon or lime

Instructions

  • Salt your chicken pieces liberally
  • Brown your chicken in a dutch oven with olive oil
  • Remove the chicken once it’s nice and brown, and add in the garlic and vegetables and sauté them until soft
  • Add about 6 cups of chicken broth
  • Put your chicken back in the pot with the veggies and the broth and let it cook through (about 20 minutes or until the internal temp is 160)
  • Now it’s time to add the rice. Add three cups of rice and 2 packets of the Goya Sazon (this is what turns the rice yellow) and let the rice cook and absorb the delicious broth (about 20-25 minutes on low heat)
  • Once the rice is cooked, add your frozen peas.
  • Bonus Step. If you want your rice a little thicker and stickier (I like it this way), add a little more chicken broth and cook a little longer on medium heat. The rice will absorb even more and it becomes delicious.
  • When you’re ready, serve with lemon or lime, and you’ll have a serious fiesta going on in your mouth
This is a dish that doesn’t have to be followed exactly. You can add other proteins, like shrimp, pork and fish, and it will be just as delicious! If it needs more salt, add some more!

When you’re ready, serve with lemon or lime, and you’ll have a serious fiesta going on in your mouth 💃

this morning I was thinking about the many changes this morning I was thinking about the many changes and leaps I’ve made in my professional career. I’ve taken jobs, quit jobs, started businesses, closed businesses. Each decision to make that change takes time, thought, feeling. Some moves immediately feel right, others you wonder if it the right thing to do. people react, but all that matters is what’s in your heart and listening to that inner voice. This morning as I was getting ready to leave my house and work out of our new studio I thought about all my leaps. Today is one of those. Here’s to the next chapter in our new studio.

✨ Life is beautiful, chasing your dreams is a magical experience that can happen over and over again. It’s all in the journey my friends ✨
