(though some will argue you have to have beer or wine in there) I like how yours sounds very herbed (cilantro, oregano, and basil) my mom would LOVE the addition of basil. For this recipe I cooked the rice this way because I used Valencia rice (short-grain rice) the type used in Spain for Paella which is often made uncovered and open air, it's tricky to cook hat rice without getting it soupy. When i want it "a la Chorrera" I add way more liquid, and cover the rice (short-grain) and when I use long-grain white I bring to boil, and cover it 20- 30 minutes over low heat.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705907653188301814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374759176620153903.post-80359379936725058552011-11-21T21:04:43.815-08:002011-11-21T21:04:43.815-08:00I make my arroz con pollo very different from the ...I make my arroz con pollo very different from the way you make yours. It's nice to see an alternative way of making it.<br /><br />I generally will sautee the chicken skin-side down in olive oil til golden brown, and when I go to flip the chicken to the other side, I will add in diced onions, green bell peppers, and garlic with a bit of dry white cooking wine, cumin, and garlic salt.<br /><br />After about 5 minutes, I add in a small can of tomato sauce and a medium can of diced tomatoes, both purchased with garlic, basil, oregano seasonings.<br /><br />I bring the soup-like mixture to a boil and proceed to add in white rice, bijol, and cilantro. I stir and leave the lid off until there's about an inch of space between the liquid and the settled rice. At this point, I'll turn the burner to the lowest setting, cover the pot with foil and/or a lid and let sit for 45 minutes. <br /><br />You could also use the Minute brand 5-minute rice instead of the real rice. The only difference is you leave all the liquids cooking on medium for half an hour before adding in the rice. Once you add the rice, leave for 5 minutes on low and covered, and it's ready to eat.Ryan B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374759176620153903.post-36156977628241663612011-08-27T20:36:42.941-07:002011-08-27T20:36:42.941-07:00Thanks so much!!

Thank you sooo much for posting this recipe, my Salvadoran husband absolutely loved this dish!!!! He kept telling me how delicious this meal was! I served it with green beans and tostones, and of course, tortillas. Last month I made the sweet plantain empanadas which were also very yummy!

Y siempre una cerveza jeje. Esos sazones y sofritos son muy tipicos de la cocina cubana.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705907653188301814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374759176620153903.post-91926994751813088402010-05-10T17:32:22.416-07:002010-05-10T17:32:22.416-07:00Nathan tu arroz es igual al que hago yo, también e...Nathan tu arroz es igual al que hago yo, también está en mi blog a veces le pongo cúrcuma en polvo y queda amarillo.
