Puerto Rican Arroz Con Pollo Rice And Chicken


Please read the entire recipe before attempting to make this dish. You will need the olive and pepper mix that i am unable to list in the ingredients, but is listed in the instructions. I've been working on an arroz con pollo based on throwdown with bobby flay. This is my rendition of the al fonda boriqua version, who was the winner of the throwdown. I jotted down all the info from the tv program. I have compiled techniques and recipes from authentic sources and this is what i have come up with. The prep time does not include the 24 hour chicken marination time. Notes: ingredients list includes links to adobo seasoning, adobo marinade, sofrito and olive and pepper mix. I hope that you enjoy my efforts as much as we have!!
