Arroz con pollo is a staple in Latin + Caribbean cuisine made with savory yellow rice and chicken. Traditional Puerto Rican arroz con pollo is packed with flavor because the chicken and rice are cooked together in the same pot. It is one of my go to meals to cook for my family. It\u2019s kid-friendly and always hits the spot! This hearty one-pot meal satisfies and stores well for leftovers the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret to making flavorful arroz con pollo:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To make flavorful arroz con pollo you’ll want to add homemade sofrito<\/a><\/strong> along with crushed garlic and finely diced onions and peppers. This is going to add tons of flavor to the rice and chicken. You can also use store-bought sofrito, but homemade is best. I make a large batch of sofrito and store it in ice cube trays in the freezer.<\/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

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<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
