Throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, it is known as [[Arroz con pollo]] (Rice with chicken) but this Paraguayan version of the dish reverses the ingredient names in the title.

You could reduce the amount of rice if making this for less than 6 people. Allow a maximum of 75g uncooked rice per person and double the volume of liquid to rice. Eg: 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water or stock.

===Method===

| Add to the [[Casserole|casserole]] with the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]], seasoning, 425ml of the [[Chicken stock|chicken stock]] and the [[Saffron|saffron]].
| [[Simmer]], covered, over low heat for 30 minutes, turning the chicken pieces once to ensure they cook properly.
| Add the remaining stock to the [[Casserole|casserole]], add the [[Rice|rice]] and the reserved solids, stir to mix and bring a [[Boil|boil]] over a fairly brisk heat.

===Serving suggestions===
If desired, [[Artichoke hearts|artichoke hearts]] may be scattered through the chicken
===Chef's notes===
I'm afraid I have to add [[Garlic|garlic]] and [[chili]] to most dishes. This has been no exception. I added 5 cloves of [[Garlic|garlic]], peeled and chopped, 1 teaspoon of dried [[diced chilli pasilla]] & 1 teaspoon of dried [[diced chili ancho]]. I think it might have been a little bland without.
