Her beloved receta for rice and chicken then was passed down \u201dto my great grandmother Isabel (who I got to know, love and spend time with throughout my teens) to my Grandmother Virginia (miss her so much) to my mother\u00a0Carmen\u00a0(whom my daughter lovingly named Abby), to me: Maya, and now to my daughter Nysia, 15,\u201d Maya explains.<br><br>\u201dIt\u2019s with lots of love and pride that we share our family recipe with you. My ancestors and Mom never truly measured ingredients in their cooking, so there are our best approximations. It was done by taste, smell, available ingredients \u2014 and love. So as you give our arroz con pollo a try in your kitchen, make sure to add a heaping cup of love to the ingredients!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure
