Arroz con Pollo
Created by The MDM Team, Friday, December 7, 2007
Chicken and rice is especially nice when you prepare Arroz con Pollo. There's lots of great Mexican flavor, and this dish packs a spicy, scrumptious punch.
Ingredients
1 tsp. vegetable oil
6 small chicken thighs, skin and fat removed (1 1/2 lb.)
Ground black pepper
Salt
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 lemon
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
14 1/2 oz. chicken broth
1 1/4 cups water
10 oz. peas
Methods/steps
In a nonstick 12" skillet, warm oil over med heat until hot. Add chicken and sprinkle with black pepper and salt. Add onion and green pepper to skillet. Saute, turning chicken once and stirring vegetable mixture occasionally, until chicken is browned and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile use a vegetable peeler to remove a 3" strip of peel from the lemon. Stir lemon peel, rice, garlic, cayenne, broth, water and salt into mixture in skillet and bring to a boil over high heat.
