Arroz con Pollo “chicken with rice” bursting with robust flavor, succulent chicken, tender rice and customizable add-ins! It may look fancy, but this complete meal-in-one bakes all in one pot for an easy dinner any night of the week. The juicy chicken and seasoned rice simmer with tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, peas and olives for a flavor explosion in every bite. You can also customize your Arroz con Pollo to your family tastes with different veggies or add-ins. NOTE: this is not traditional Arroz Con Pollo specific to a certain region, but my own version which shares a similar flavor profile.
