Arroz con Pollo
Apr 26, 2025 04:27 AM
Arroz con pollo is such an easy one-pot chicken dinner recipe that my whole family loves! I brown juicy chicken thighs to perfection and serve them atop a bed of fragrant veggies and rice. Topped with peas, this dish is savory with a pop of sweetness. It’s an all-in-one dinner that I make all the time!
There’s something about the phrase “one pot dinner” that gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling! Knowing that in just one pot I can prepare bone-in chicken thighs and rice with veggies for the whole family makes me smile. The best part? Only one dish to wash!
My arroz con pollo recipe draws influences from Spain and Puerto Rico. I flavor the rice with bold ingredients like chicken broth, tomato paste, and garlic. And I cook the chicken thighs with an array of seasonings guaranteed to make your mouth water. The sweet peas are the icing on the cake and make this dish so yummy!
