Arroz Con Pollo, Cubano
Servings: 4
Directions
- Somehow, the English translation "Cuban chicken with rice" just doesn't do this exotic dish justice. Serve with salad, garlic bread, and wine, and you'll have a feast. Note which saffron is often less expensive if you purchase it at an oriental or possibly other ethnic specialty market. You can make this dish a day ahead and reheat it.
- Serves 4.
- (If you double or possibly triple the recipe, reduce the amount of water.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fry chicken with onion and garlic in oil till brown. Add in tomatoes and water; bring to a boil and cook 5 min. Add in bay leaf, salt, rice, saffron, and green pepper.
- Place in 8" x 10" casserole; bake 20 to 30 min, stirring at least twice. When water has been absorbed and chicken is fork tender, garnish with peas and pimientos.
