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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2014because, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n

      Directions<\/h3>\n\t\t\t
      • Season chicken with oregano, salt, pepper and saz\u00f3n. Let marinate for at least at least 2 hours.<\/li>
      • In a large Dutch oven, put 4 Tbsp. olive oil and saut\u00e9 chicken for 3 to 5 minutes each side.<\/li>
      • Add all the above ingredients, with the exception of the rice and 1 1\/2 cups of the water.<\/li>
      • Let it gently cook on medium heat for 40 minutes.<\/li>
      • Remove chicken from Dutch oven and set aside. Keep warm.<\/li>
      • Wash, rinse, drain and add rice to aromatics in the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil and let simmer, uncovered, on low heat for about 20 minutes. <\/li>
      • If the chicken you set aside has become cold, put in microwave for 1 or 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the finished rice mixture in the Dutch oven. Mix gently and garnish with diced pimentos.<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\n\t\t\t
