2-2.5 lbs of Chicken
4 Cups of Rice

1 cube of chicken broth (optional)
1/2 cup of sofrito

Instructions

Add chicken
While chicken is cooking, rinse the rice
After chicken is browned, add water
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir.
Ensure there’s around 3/4 of an inch of water covering the rice, if not, the rice will be too dry.
Let it cook, uncovered for 15 minutes, in medium-low heat or until the water is absorbed by the rice
Once this happens, stir, and cover. Allow the rice to cook for 15-20 minutes in medium-low heat until the rice is tender.
