Arroz con Pollo

http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/10/arroz-con-pollo/


Comments: has a lot of ingredients but it looks like a pretty simple recipe. haven't read it all the way through though. keep in mind you can always just use what you have around for this type of dish,and you can always substitute: if she is saying to cook the rice, instead you can buy instant rice and pour it in at the end. use fewer spices if you want, whatever will taste good.

Basic Chicken

Version 1:


Ingredients
1-2 Whole Chicken Breast (not milanesa)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
4 Cloves Garlic, chopped up
1 Chopped Pepper (whichever color you like. Green is the least sweet, Red is in between, Yellow/Orange are sweetest)
1/2 Medium Onion, chopped up
Spices: Tumeric, Salt, Pepper, whatever you like

Cooking:

  1. Put olive oil in pan and put pan on medium-high heat.
  2. When hot, put onion and garlic and spices into the pan.
  3. After a little bit of cooking, when it gets a little brown, put the peppers into the pan. 
  4. When they start to soften, put the chicken in. Cook the chicken until it's done. If it seems to be getting too dry, you can add some water. Spice to your taste.
Version 2:

4 Chicken Legs
2 Medium Onions, cut into half or quarters, up to you 
3 Large Carrots, Chopped into large pieces

Whatever spices you want to use

Cooking:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put everything in a big pan. make sure there's enough olive oil to keep things moist and from burning.
3. Cook it until it's done.
