Arroz con Pollo (Rice with Chicken)
|
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
|
2 teaspoons dried oregano |
|
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
|
1 teaspoon bleak pepper |
|
1 teaspoon paprika |
|
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper |
|
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders cut into chunks |
|
2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
|
½ pound ham, chopped |
|
1 cup diced white onion |
|
1 Tablespoon minced garlic |
|
1 cup dry converted rice |
|
½ cup dry white wine |
|
1 ¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth |
|
1 ½ cups chopped Roma tomatoes |
|
1 bay leaf |
|
1 cup frozen peas, thawed |
|
½ cup pitted, chopped Spanish olives |
|
1 (2 ounce) jar pimentos, drained |
Combine cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne in a bowl. Rub the mixture over chicken to coat. Heat the oil in a 3 qt. skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Add ham, onion, and garlic; sauté 3 minutes.
Stir in rice and cook 1 minute, then add wine and simmer until nearly evaporated. Add broth, tomatoes, and bay leaf. Bring rice mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover pan, and cook until rice is tender, 20-25 minutes.
Add peas, olives, and pimentos to rice; cover pan and simmer 3 minutes to blend flavors. Remove bay leaf before serving.
NOTE: I got this in my "Cuisine at Home eRECIPES" on Jan. 8, 2009. I fixed it for supper tonight and we really liked it. It truly makes a complete meal. I think it would also be good with yellow rice and next time may throw in some of that seasoning. I used Uncle Ben’s converted rice, as I grew up on it; and I used chardonnay from a 4-pak of wine I keep for cooking. I also used Beefsteak tomatoes since I couldn’t find any Roma. As far as the ham went, I found for boneless smoked pork chops that were vacuum sealed in Publix and just used those.
