  • Yield: 20

Ingredients

Cooking Oil (Vegetable, Canola, or even Olive Oil will do) 

2-2.5 lbs of Chicken

4 Cups of Rice 

Adobo, salt, and pepper to taste 

1 cube of chicken broth (optional)

1/2 cup of sofrito

2 tsp of sazon

1/4 cup tomato sauce 

1/2 cup olives (optional)

1 tsp oregano 

1 tbsp of achiote (annatto seed) oil 

Instructions

Cut chicken into small, 1 inch pieces 

Fry sofrito

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. 

Enjoy!
