Arroz con pechuga de pollo is a delicious meal made with savory yellow rice and chicken breast. This is far from traditional Puerto Rican Arroz con Pollo<\/strong>, in which chicken drumsticks and thighs are cooked with the rice in the same pot. This dish is different but still turns out delicious every time. I like to shred the chicken breast and add moisture with a secret ingredient (see below!). This recipe has caused a lot of controversy on social media because it’s different but I urge you to give it a try. It is one of my go to meals to cook for my family. It\u2019s kid-friendly and always hits the spot! With savory yellow rice and shredded chicken breast, it\u2019s a hearty meal that satisfies and stores well for leftovers the next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make arroz con pechuga de pollo?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways to cook arroz con pechuga de pollo but this is my favorite way to make it. I begin by stewing chicken breasts. Since the chicken is going to cook in water, you\u2019ll want to season generously.\u00a0\u00a0I love using\u00a0Healthy Rican seasonings<\/a><\/strong>. They are a healthy alternative to traditional seasonings that contain harmful ingredients and dyes. Use my code\u00a0\u201cmadewithsazon\u201d<\/em>\u00a0for 10% OFF your order!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also make my own homemade blend of adobo<\/a><\/strong> y saz\u00f3n<\/a><\/strong>. They are much healthier than store-bought seasonings, they are cost effective, and last up to three years when stored in an air tight container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add sofrito<\/a><\/strong>, tomato sauce and chicken bouillon paste to a pot and cook a few minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken breast, half of an onion and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium and cover. Simmer for about 30 minutes. Remember to reserve that chicken broth for later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then use the chicken broth to cook the rice in, which adds tons of flavor. Pro tip: store any leftover broth from stews and soups in the freezer and use it to cook yellow rice. The flavor it adds is insane! Thank me later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I shred the chicken while the rice cooks. I also like to add mayonnaise to the chicken, which adds moisture. I know it sounds crazy but trust me on this! You can\u2019t really taste the mayonnaise and the heat will melt it so it won\u2019t even be visible. Once the rice is cooked, I toss everything together to combine. Deliciousness! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to serve with arroz con pechuga de pollo?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 I like to serve arroz con pollo with habichuelas guisadas<\/a><\/strong> and a side of veggies. Usually I go with green beans, peas or broccoli. Sometime I make a mixed greens salad or an avocado and tomato salad with red onions. Tostones or maduros (sweet plantains) also pair well with arroz con pollo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
