Abuelo’s Arroz con Pollo

5 steps
Prep:10minCook:35min
I have great memories eating this meal at my grandparents' house. My abuelo would make this for lunch regularly. It was one of my favorite dishes as a kid. I had to translate this recipe from word of mouth (and from Spanish to English). A few notes on the ingredients: He would always clean the chicken thighs by trimming all/most of the fat. Bijol is a coloring and seasoning condiment that you should be able to find in the latin aisle or latin grocery store.
