Arroz con Pollo (Chicken with Rice)

By: Ortega®

"Rice is a standard ingredient of the midday Mexican meal. When flavored with broth, tomatoes, chiles or cheese, it becomes a meal in and of itself. Arroz con Pollo is certainly the most well known Mexican rice dish. Use long-grain white rice for best results."
