My neighbour gave me this recipe as we were renovating the kitchen and I didn’t have an oven for 6 months. I cooked everything outside on the BBQ and luckily I had a Wok burner connected to the BBQ. This dish is very easy and very yummy. I think Arroz con Pollo means ‘Rice with Chicken’ in Spanish. Enjoy we did :) Ingredients:
1 -2 tablespoon oil |
1 kg chicken fillet, cubes |
1 garlic clove, chopped |
2 onions, chopped |
1 red capsicum, chopped |
1 small green capsicum, chopped |
1 -2 bay leaf, if available (optional) |
1 (425 g) can diced tomatoes (a large tin may be better, it's up to you) |
750 ml chicken stock |
2 cups rice, uncooked |
1 teaspoon turmeric powder |
1 cup beans, cooked (optional) |
1 (400 g) can artichoke hearts, chopped yummy if included (optional) |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Brown cubed chicken in some oil with the chopped garlic and onions.
2. Add the chopped capsicum's sauté for a minute.
3. Add the bay leaves, tomatoes and chicken stock.
4. When the stock starts to boil stir in the rice and turmeric.
5. Simmer low heat with the lid on until the rice is tender adding more stock if necessary. Stir regular. This will take 20-30 minutes approximately.
6. Add beans and artichokes during the last 10 mins of cooking.
