Original Recipe Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

1 (3 1/2) pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
Goya Adobo with Pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons Goya Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons Goya Minced Garlic
1 1/2 cups Canilla Extra Long Grain Rice
1 packet Goya Powdered Chicken Bouillon
1 packet Sazon Goya with Azafran
1/4 cup Goya Pitted Alcaparrado, sliced
1 (4 ounce) jar Goya Fancy Sliced Pimientos
1/2 cup Goya Frozen Peas, thawed

Directions

Using paper towels, pat chicken dry. Season chicken with Adobo. Heat oil in caldero, or large heavy pot over medium heat. Cook chicken, in batches, until brown on all sides, 7-10 minutes; set aside.
Stir onions, peppers and garlic into pot; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add rice, bouillon and Sazon to pot; cook, stirring constantly, until rice is completely coated in oil mixture, about 1 minute.
Stir in 3 cups water; bring to a boil. Add alcaparrado and chicken (skin-side up) to pot. Cover pot, reduce heat to low and simmer until water is absorbed, rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
To serve, using fork, fluff rice; garnish with pimiento strips and peas.

Footnotes

Cooking tip from LA COCINA GOYA
Save time and add flavor with GOYA Pitted Alcaparrado! GOYA Pitted Alcaparrado is the perfect blend of olives, pimientos and capers that adds a special briny flavor to this Arroz con Pollo recipe and many of our other favorites, like beef stew and ropa vieja. But what makes it even more special: This convenient jar saves us valuable time in the kitchen. We simply spoon the veggies onto our cutting board, give them a quick chop, and we're on our way – no pitting, or mixing required!
