- 2 cups Medium-grain rice(rinsed)
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 3 tbsp Sofrito
- 1/4 cup Tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp Annatto oil (achiote oil)(for color and flavor)
- 1/4 cup Green olives(pitted and sliced)

👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the annatto oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Don't overcrowd the pot; sear chicken in batches if necessary. - 2
Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sofrito to the pot. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Stir in the tomato sauce and the Sazón packet (if using). Cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
⏱️ 1 minute - 4
Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir to coat it with the mixture. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring, until the rice grains are slightly translucent.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the bay leaf, sliced olives, and capers. Stir well.

Return the seared chicken pieces to the pot, nestling them into the rice. Ensure the liquid covers the rice and chicken. Bring back to a gentle simmer.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: If the liquid level is too low, add a little more broth or water. - 7
Cover the pot tightly, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed. Do not lift the lid during this time.
⏱️ 25 minutes💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: A piece of aluminum foil placed between the pot and the lid can help create a tighter seal. - 8
Once cooked, let the arroz con pollo rest, covered, for 10 minutes off the heat. Fluff the rice with a fork, removing the bay leaf. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

💡 पेशेवर सुझाव
- ✓Annatto oil (aceite de achiote) is crucial for the authentic color and subtle flavor. It can be made by infusing oil with achiote seeds or purchased pre-made.
- ✓Using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs adds more flavor and moisture to the dish.
- ✓Resist the urge to stir the rice while it's cooking, as this can make it mushy.
