To me, a hot bowl of Chicken and Rice is the ultimate comfort food. This recipe is for the nights when you just don't have time to cook an elaborate meal, or when you just want something easy and comforting. This Arroz con Pollo uses store bough Rotisserie Chicken, Seasoned Rice, Frozen Veggies and a few pantry staples. It is fast, delicious and healthy! There are much more detailed recipes for Arroz Con Pollo, and I do like to make them, but this is a great go-to recipe that will taste like you have been cooking it for hours!
Serves 4
1 store bought organic rotisserie chicken, skin removed, meat shredded
1 box whole grain yellow rice
1 bag frozen organic vegetables- corn, carrots, peas and green beans is a great combo here
2/3 cup chicken stock
2 tbsp adobo seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
Cook the rice according to package instructions. When you have about 10 minutes remaining move to step 2
Add chicken to a bowl and toss with 1.5 tbsp adobo seasoning
In a large pan heat oil over medium heat. Add Chicken and heat until hot and slightly browned
Add chicken stock and frozen veggies, continue to cook until vegetables are heated and all the liquid is absorbed. Add the remaining adobo seasoning
Once rice is cooked and rested add to the chicken mixture. Mix until all combined. Serve hot! You can top this with your favorite hot sauce.
This is great served with an easy side dish like Shishito Peppers
