I was born in Puerto Rico and moved to New York City at age 8 when my father died. My mother, my sister and I lived with our grandmother. My mother worked a lot and never cooked, and my grandmother made basic things. So I taught myself. I just tried things and experimented until I figured things out. This is my arroz con pollo.
I live in Washington, D.C. with my husband and one daughter lives nearby. I make this arroz con pollo about twice a month. I take the chicken out when I cook the rice—because, for me, the rice becomes too mushy if you cook it all together. After I saute the chicken, I set it aside and keep it warm. Then I put it back in at the end after the rice is done, and let it all simmer together, to get nice and warm.
