Arroz con pollo ([[Rice|rice]] with [[Chicken|chicken]]) is a traditional dish that's common throughout Latin America especially in Cuba, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. There is a widespread belief among Hispanics in the US that it originated in Puerto Rico but there is no direct evidence for this. However, it resembles [[Paella|paella]], a [[Spanish]] dish, both in its ingredients and cooking technique, and may very well be a New World adaptation of it.

Common ingredients for arroz con pollo include [[Rice|rice]], [[Vegetables|vegetables]], [[Fresh herbs|fresh herbs]] and [[Chicken|chicken]].

===Method===

| Pour enough [[Olive oil|olive oil]] into a large [[Skillet|skillet]] to just barely cover the bottom.
| Sauté [[Chicken|chicken]] in [[Oil|oil]] until [[Brown|brown]]. There are two ways to proceed from here: Either remove the chicken from the [[Skillet|skillet]] or keep it there.
| Sauté [[Garlic|garlic]] until [[Brown|brown]]. Be careful, garlic burns easily.
| Add the [[Onion|onion]], [[Bell pepper|bell pepper]], [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] and [[Paprika|paprika]]. Sauté until the [[Vegetables|vegetables]] are tender.
| Transfer the ingredients to a large [[Stewing|stewing]] pot.
| Add the [[Cilantro|cilantro]], bouillon and [[Saffron|saffron]] (or food colouring). Bring to a rolling [[Boil|boil]].
| Add the [[Rice|rice]] and mix well. [[Simmer]] over medium heat until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Add more [[Broth|broth]] or water if the liquid evaporates before the rice is cooked.
| Add the [[Chicken|chicken]] to the pot (if you removed it previously) and cover it with [[Rice|rice]]. Wait two to three minutes to allow the chicken to warm.
| Sprinkle [[Peas|peas]] on top of the [[Rice|rice]]
