Arroz Con Pollo

This easy one pan arroz con pollo is the perfect weeknight dinner your whole family will love!

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray or 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups of jasmine rice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6-8 skin on, bone in chicken thighs and legs
  • 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 onion peeled, halved, and sliced
  • 1 red pepper seeded and sliced
  • 3 cups chicken stock or water
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spray a large roasting pan or oven to table dish with oil spray or coat with olive oil.
  • Pour the rice into the pan, spread evenly, and season with salt.
  • Place the chicken pieces on top of the rice, leaving about 1 inch or so of space in between.
  • Season with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
  • Scatter the sliced vegetables all over the chicken and rice.
  • Pour the chicken stock (recommended) or water around the sides of the dish, not on top of the chicken or else it will wash away the spices.
  • Spray the chicken with the cooking spray or drizzle more olive oil on top of the chicken pieces.
  • Cover and bake for 45 mins, then uncover, raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees and bake for another 15-20 mins.
  • Dig in!

Notes

***Definitely recommend using chicken stock instead of water for more flavor, but water can be used as a substitute
Do not substitute brown rice
