Arroz Con Pollo (aka Chicken & Rice)

(Make this shit tonight! It's so good. )

4 Chicken Thighs 

2 Cups of Rice 

2 cups of vegetable stock 

½ red onion, diced

½ green bell pepper,  diced

1 tomato, diced.

½ cup of peas

2 tablespoons of salt 

2 tablespoons of Pepper 

2 tablespoons of garlic

2 tablespoons of cumin 

2 tablespoons of paprika 

2 tablespoons of turmeric (if you can’t find saffron)

1. Season your chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides and add them to a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook them juicy bad boys for about 4-5 mins on each side. Remove when you see the golden-brown crust and set aside. 

2. In the same pan, add the onions, and bell pepper and saute that shit until they start to soften, about 3-4 mins. 

3. Add the rice and saute for 1-2 mins more before adding in the stock and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. 

4. Grab the rest of your seasoning and mix that into the boiling mixture before adding your chicken thighs, evenly spaced apart. 

5. Cover and let simmer for 18-20 minutes. When done fluff the rice and serve with lemon wedges and parsley for garnish.
