There are a ton of different versions of "arroz con pollo" all over Latin America and this one looks very similar to our Colombian version, except we don't add green olives and use cilantro instead of parsley. I think all versions are valid as long as they taste good and this one looks amazing!
My best friend as a kid family was from Panama. This is almost dead on how his father would make it but they always used wings and thighs bone in. One of my favorite Latin dishes
People always ask her for international recipes and when does one you always get a bunch who complain about how this is not the way it's done! It's her version she always states that in the beginning.
I have a little trick with this. I fry whole bone-in chicken leg quarters (super-cheap) in olive oil until browned, remove, then saute onion, carrot a little sweet pepper (and potato if you are going more stew-ish), then introduce low-sodium chicken stock (usually Kitchen Essentials). I peel the skin off the chicken leg quarter, then debone. I use the bone to make stock, and return the chicken pieces to the soup. I usually add cooked rice last (from my Japanese Panasonic SR-DF181 rice cooker). At the end I add green onion and either parsley or cilantro depending upon the crowd (Asians prefer cilantro) . The kicker is the chicken skin. It is flaccid, and beggin for salt. Salt it up, then cut into little squares and drop into boiling oil (I like the Chinese peanut oil). Pull it out brown, and then salt again. It is literally the best snack ever (and soooo unhealthy). This should be a staple at rehab centers for those seeking to end crack/heroin addiction. Otherwise, the bones really do made a difference for soups and stews. If you are in a pinch, make a stock with chicken wings. Brown the outter skin, then fry some onions and add water to make stock. Even if you remove those wings later, the skin and bones made a wicked stock. I personally think you are better off using chicken wings all the way through, removing, then adding boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the end. Joe sick-pack prefers this with the killer stock and easy-to-eat chicken breasts.
That looks fantastic ... Doing this next week!! In Lebanon, we put the chicken in some water and bring it to a boil and clean the water from residue. Once the water is clean, we put in cinnamon sticks, ginger, cloves, lots of cinnamon powder, black pepper corns, nutmeg, onions, garlic, carrots, salt.. until the chicken is cooked. Using the broth, we cook the rice, and then serve it along side the chicken pieces with toasted almonds, pine nuts and walnuts and of course a side salad !! Deliciousss Xx
This is the best recipe I have seen on TH-cam so far. What drew me in was the picture of the olives I'm a olive lover. Thank you so much for the recipe.
I just made it and it is so beautiful, being a Pakistani I know well how to deal with rice, usually we soak rice in cold or lukewarm water, but here no soaking so kind of nervous I was. But I'm glad that none of my rice grains are broken and perfect aroma in the house, the only thing I didn't put its green olives ( I used black pitted one then) And onion powder but everything is good Thank you for sharing.
I'm from Puerto Rico and Rice with Chicken is one of our traditional dishes. I made this today and this version of it was really good. I loved it. Everyone has their own way to make it. This is an excelent Arroz con pollo recipe.
Definitely a go-to dish. Love making this. Reminds me of my granny's cooking and she would always make her tortillas w/ this dish too. Looks great Laura!
I love your recipes! Whenever I want to cook something good, I use one of you recipe. So happy that you share. You also have such a kind and beautiful face! Thanks Laura!!
Laura! this recipe looks so delicious and simple. I am a college student, and although I do have a kitchen to cook in, it's hard to get expensive ingredients and cook complicated dishes. I would really really love if you made a recipe that is simple and easy enough for college students! You really inspire me with your cooking, and I always want to cook your food after watching you enjoy it!
My favorite past times are trout fishing and cooking. While much more accomplished in the former, I love cooking and trying new recipes. I have never tried this rather simple recipe, similar to a arroz con pollo until now. Delicious recipe for what I would call comfort food. Love your videos!
I make this all the time and I use all the veggies I have left over (broccoli, mushrooms, peas) whatever I have on hand. I always finish it off with some extra virgin olive oil and it's always divine!
Laura i'm a college student so it's very hard for me to find time to cook. Can you please make more videos like these where i could throw something together quickly. Thanks so much!
I'm Puertorican and I make it differently my family makes a sofrito instead of using all the pieces. so my sofrito has green bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro,green olives and sometimes a piece of ham put it all on the blender then I use a couple of tbs of the sofrito for the rice and everything else gets done the same way as laura did except I don't add peas but it all looks good. love your show and your food ideas you are most excellent keep cooking and bringing us more recipes thank you
Hi Laura...!! Love all your receipt. ... I'm from Costa Rica...back home we cook and season the rice and the chicken apart.. First we boil the chicken with all the season. .wend is done we take the boiling water and cook the rice normally like wend you cook white rice, then wend is could down we take the chicken in the big frying pot and season it like you did, and then we mix the rice..the rice will be loose and take all the juice from seasoning also...
This reminds me of my favourite dish of all time, a good ole Trinidad Pelau. It's a one pot meat (any meat you like) and rice. It usually consists of stewed meat (meaning browned by cooking with either brown sugar or food browning), rice, pigeon peas (I think typically brown is used but some people also use green) and carrots for the basic because some people like to add more other veges like celery, some people add pumpkin. But it is so good!!
Searched this cz Lindy at Bubz was raving about it n wanted to look how it's made :) n I liked how d videos are in folders. Easy to search :) thank u!!!
Awesome another recipe to try. I made a one pot chicken and rice last night. A bit different, I used wing dings; sautéed them with onions and green peppers different seasonings and rice with chicken stock.
I just made this. I used parboiled rice, added a tbs of tomato paste and 1 cup of chickpeas. It is absolutely delicious and low cal. Thanks for sharing.
Made this tonight and it was sooooo good. I added cilantro instead of parsley though. Your recipes never disappoint me and my boyfriend. I make at least 1 of your recipes a week now. Thanx! 😜
My mom makes her rice with some sweet corn and peas and some chopped carrots,she also adds some turmeric before adding the veggies. It gives the rice a nice yellow color and it's delicious!
I made this with brown rice and added corriander (cilantro). It came out incredible! I shall definitely make it again!!! Thank you for such an awesome recipe 😄
This is now one of my regular dishes. I tweaked it a little to my tastes but it is honestly SO delicious, SO filling, and SO easy :) Also I use breast and it doesn't come out dry at all.
hi laura!i would really wanna hear you speak in italian (but of course with a subtitle) as you cook :) i'm definite that a lot of your fans will enjoy this! :D
In Southeast Asia or Eastern Asia, we usually cook the rice seperately with water. Then, we stir-fried our meat and vegies until they are nice and tender ► add in the cool rice which has been already cooked before ► stir quickly, season with soy sauce, pepper ► add in an egg, scramble it with rice so the rice will have that beautiful bright yellow ► turn off the heat, add in chopped herbs like corianders or spring onions :) That's a traditional style in my country Vietnam as well as in China
i'm liking the closed captions! (or maybe all your videos have them but i just happen to notice them now? ._.) in eastern Saudi Arabia there are a lot of chicken-rice dishes and every family cooks them differently, my mom stuffs the chicken with chopped and seasoned onions then sews it shut with kitchen twine, but you can probably get away without the stuffing xD boil the chicken whole with salt, spices, and tomato paste, when it's cooked you take the chicken out and use the soup left behind to cook the rice (you can add potatoes and carrots at this point, or any hard vegetable you like) and the chicken is fried in shallow oil just for a few minutes to give the outside a crunchy colored texture. serve it with toasted almond shreds or pine nuts if you can find them, and of course any green herb you have like parsley or green onions or frozen peas like you showed in the video, since the end result it will be mostly brown xD not impressive for instagram but your mouth will thank you for the flavor *_* the spices make a big difference, we get them pre-ground and mixed but you'll probably achieve the same taste if you use boxed Indian curry powder, as long as there is Cumin and Turmeric in the ingredients you're good! i'm gonna have to try your recipe, though, since it's less work and i can finally make sense of skinless boneless thigh cuts in my local supermarket!
Hey Laura in the Caribbean we call it Paleau....almost the same but we stew our seasoned chicken first den add the rice to stew up with the chicken. When almost done cooking we add peas and carrots to finish it off. We season any meat with fresh green seasonings and leave it to marinade for a while before cooking. You should try this with lamb. It's really good.
I am from India, and we would add a little bit of whole spices in the oil before frying chicken and would add garam masala or even cumin powder along with the other powdered spices. Please give it a try ....sure u would like it..:)
One pot chicken and rice is a very common dish in east Africa. Although lamb or beef is more popular and flavorful. The juices from the bones incorporated in the rice is just delicious altogether. Great recipe!
I totally made this for the first time! today! I created my own chicken stock by boiling chicken thighs with a celery stock, garlic, and a bay leaf. Then I fried my long grain rice in veggie oil, till golden brown, I throw in a chopped garlic, quickly add my homemade chicken stock, add a tomato cube or two, and cook till its done! As a garnish, finely chopped celery leaves marinated in lemon, salt n pper!
Hey boo! So I made things alittle harder on my self but just IN CASE ANYONE ONLY HAS CHICKEN WITH BONE AND SKIN on it in their fridge... this is what I did.. I did everything Laura did with her chicken! I just started cooking it alittle ahead of time then after it was done I took of the skin and shredded it!! It was delicious only thing I didn't add was cilantro 😩 and saffron.. but I swear it still came out amazing!!
This looks delicious, Laura! I'm making out my grocery list right now, even though your recipe isn't up yet, should be easy to guesstimate. I love these large one pot meals, if I'm going to cook, I want leftovers, lol. Thank you Laura!!
I am from West Bengal, India. In my house we make a basic curry by first frying sliced onions followed by adding a mixture of onion,ginger and garlic mast mixed with some chilli powder, tumeric, cumin powder,salt and a tiny bit of sugar. Fry it for a while and add some tomato puree. Once the oil starts to seperate, we add in the chicken(with bones) and cook it for a further 5-10 mins. Next we add in the rice along with some whole garam masala(green cardamom, cloves and cinnamon). After mixing it properly an appropriate amount of water is added and the mixture is covered and cooked in a slow flame till the rice is cooked... :)
Here in Costa Rica we do it differently, we use shredded chicken, we use chicken stock to cook the rice, we also sometimes add sweet corn, carrots, green beans and if you like it you can add peas as well! But actually it looks very similar to ours! I can see the Spanish influence in our rice and chicken ;) Thanks Laura always loving you delicious food! :D
In Trinidad we call it pelau it's very popular and they serve it with coleslaw or macaroni salad but we add sugar and brown it off to brown the chicken and then add rice beans seasoning and coconut milk and water
Looks good! Instead of adding all water, we add a bottle of beer and it gives it an awesome taste! My family uses either Presidente or Corona (beer brand)
Wow looks delish! That's pretty much how I make the rice just without the chicken. Definitely will try to make it with chicken just one simple dish instead of 2. Grea Job! Amazing
Laura I loved this video. Looks like such a real, homemade dinner recipe. Simple and fulla love 💖 as a veggie it reminds me of my rice and lentil pilaf. It’s more Eastern European, flavoured with cinnamon. You would love it, I’m sure. It’s a baked rice dish. Healthy, filling and made with such love x
Could deglaze with white wine for additional flavor, and rinse your rice before adding it if the dish is too starchy or sticky. As many others have mentioned - this is a technique dish that you can experiment and have fun with.
We call this cook up and make it a bit different. I use wings and roast them in the oven for color and flavor. While it's roasting I saute onions celery and peppers the add the rice to the sauted veggies and let it cook dry for couple minutes. The i add a bit of beer to deglaze the pan. Then add water let it boil and add chicken cubes and the roasted chicken and let the rice cook. Once the water is drained I add frozen veggies like peas carrots and corn and I season to taste and all done. That's ONE of the many ways I make it. It's a quick meal to make esp when you're trying to clean out your fridge
This is a great dish very simple i've made it very similar to this but I use fresh garlic and a pinch or 2 of cayenne for just a little kick. Green olives are fine but i think black olives would be more suited to this dish. Great video.
I am definitely going to try this.....the 2 ingredients that I will add to this dish is chopped celery and thyme. I'll add the chopped celery when sauteing the chicken, onion, garlic and red peppers. Then I'll add the thyme when the stock bubbles......oh not forgetting a little ground cayenne pepper for heat :)
Super! I love chicken and rice, but didn't know it could be cooked together. Going to try this for my family, but I will probably add cilantro instead. Thanks so much.
I made this and its amazing!! Even though I didn't have the chicken stock I used plain water,and it just blew my mind. Thanks for the wonderful recipe! xoxoxo
Im half Ghanian, half Italian and in Ghanian culture they make something similar to this called jollof rice and its sooo good. The only person that can make it is my Grandmother (shes Ghanian) and so I always await it while she cooks it. :)
Question and I don't want to come off as offensive at all, but I have Nigerian and Ghanaian friends and they are always saying their jollof is better than the others, are they made differently? Also, why is it such a big deal on who's taste better if they are made for different people/taste
I'm half Nigerian, half Liberian and I've tasted all three types jollof rice. I can safely say Liberian's jollof rice is the best, hands down. P.S. it's a big deal because it's a source of pride....hahahah

Here in Puerto Rico is different the Arroz con Pollo! We don't use veggies or tomatoes
Ana M. Jimenez
Yep! Replace those peas and parsley with gandules and cilantro! :)

People always ask her for international recipes and when does one you always get a bunch who complain about how this is not the way it's done! It's her version she always states that in the beginning.
True but she always asks for different versions. Gotta try all. Love Laura.

sounds gud
I love ❤️. KASSIE
It's very similar to Puerto Rican arroz con pollo, we start it with a sofrito, which is a mix of cilantro, onions, peppers and sweet peppers.
YUMMIE!!!!!
Omg my two favorite you tubers you and Laura
Umm sounds delish
I love sofrito as well. It makes a big difference 👍
That looks fantastic ... Doing this next week!! In Lebanon, we put the chicken in some water and bring it to a boil and clean the water from residue.

I like fresh garlic (3-4 buds) and olives with pimentos, and juice from the olive juice. My family loves this chicken dish! Thanks Laura
The olives are literally the secret of this dish. It brings out amazing flavors.
Hi Laura...!!

love watching you cook as I eat what you are making. love your show. Keep up the great cooking.
Laura you gave me a easyer way to cook chicken and rice since I'm busy mommy thank you much love
What I like about watching you cook is the fact that I can taste the meal 💕
I'm choking on my own saliva. Can't wait to go make this.
I love seeing people adapt recipes to make it their own, it looks great, looks a lot like the tradicional Colombian arroz con pollo
I love your cooking everything I make from you is a success! I’am from Italy & you cook just like back home. Thank you for recipes! 😁
Awesome another recipe to try. I made a one pot chicken and rice last night. A bit different, I used wing dings; sautéed them with onions and green peppers different seasonings and rice with chicken stock.

My mom makes her rice with some sweet corn and peas and some chopped carrots,she also adds some turmeric before adding the veggies. It gives the rice a nice yellow color and it's delicious!
I love chicken and rice dishes! This looks so flavorful, and I love the addition of the olives!
I have keenly followed your recipes, oh my you are amazing! You inspire me a lot.
I made this with brown rice and added corriander (cilantro). It came out incredible! I shall definitely make it again!!! Thank you for such an awesome recipe 😄
This is now one of my regular dishes. I tweaked it a little to my tastes but it is honestly SO delicious, SO filling, and SO easy :) Also I use breast and it doesn't come out dry at all.

not impressive for instagram but your mouth will thank you for the flavor *_*
the spices make a big difference, we get them pre-ground and mixed but you'll probably achieve the same taste if you use boxed Indian curry powder, as long as there is Cumin and Turmeric in the ingredients you're good!
i'm gonna have to try your recipe, though, since it's less work and i can finally make sense of skinless boneless thigh cuts in my local supermarket!

Yummy. My mom makes this all the time but with different veggies, corn is a must!
One pot chicken and rice is a very common dish in east Africa. Although lamb or beef is more popular and flavorful. The juices from the bones incorporated in the rice is just delicious altogether. Great recipe!

I have been looking for a recipe like this . The one I tried also and raisins. It was so good !
I love this recipe with broccoli cauliflower mushrooms and scallions it is so delicious
Never had them with peas will be trying this recipe! Looks so yummyyyy!
Laura the one pot chicken & rice was the best tasting chicken and rice I ever had including eating at restaurants.
In India, we call this Biryani! And it is absolutely heaven! ♥️
Sounds awesome! I add chopped Yukon gold potatoes and corn, and leave out the tomatoes and bam! One pot wonder!!
Tried it today for the first time. Awesome success. Thank you.
That looks so good! Ima give this a try . Its looks delicous. I always make plain rice but with chicken ughhh it looks divine
Love the addition of the stuffed olives, I cant get enough of them, I'll be having this at the weekend with boned chicken thighs.
This was delicious, Laura! My husband and I love your recipes.
Insted of paprika powder I added cury and it turned out amazing! Thanks for the recepi Laura
Commenting here just now as I am making this rice and chicken hahaha it smells amazing and I love it already thanks Laura!
Hi Laura thanks for your scrumptious recipes.I tried it and it came out delicious.
Looks good! Instead of adding all water, we add a bottle of beer and it gives it an awesome taste! My family uses either Presidente or Corona (beer brand)
In Trinidad we make a one pot chicken and rice called Pelau. Its delicious! You should definitely try it Laura!
I'm Mexican and chicken con arroz is kind of made like that except no olives and lime juice on top super good.

Hello Laura thank you for recommending this food.I made for lunch liked my family.🍽🍽👍👍👍😘😘😘
Most beautiful cook on TH-cam. Plus I love the cooking too.
Wow looks delish! That's pretty much how I make the rice just without the chicken. Definitely will try to make it with chicken just one simple dish instead of 2. Grea Job! Amazing
Laura I loved this video. Looks like such a real, homemade dinner recipe. Simple and fulla love 💖 as a veggie it reminds me of my rice and lentil pilaf. It’s more Eastern European, flavoured with cinnamon. You would love it, I’m sure. It’s a baked rice dish. Healthy, filling and made with such love x
Could deglaze with white wine for additional flavor, and rinse your rice before adding it if the dish is too starchy or sticky. As many others have mentioned - this is a technique dish that you can experiment and have fun with.
We call this cook up and make it a bit different. I use wings and roast them in the oven for color and flavor. While it's roasting I saute onions celery and peppers the add the rice to the sauted veggies and let it cook dry for couple minutes. The i add a bit of beer to deglaze the pan. Then add water let it boil and add chicken cubes and the roasted chicken and let the rice cook. Once the water is drained I add frozen veggies like peas carrots and corn and I season to taste and all done. That's ONE of the many ways I make it. It's a quick meal to make esp when you're trying to clean out your fridge
we make this dish really different over my country I'm from Dominican Republic and we call it "locrio" and the crunchy bottom we call it " concon''
Finally finding someone from D.R. hehe... Locrio for the world. with the concon on the side
In Puerto Rico we call the crispy bottom "el pegao" :D
Coralie Colon The best part! El pegao!
I'm from Philippines and we call the crispy bottom "Tutong" in Tagalog but in Visayan we call it "Dukot"
Not normally a huge fan of one pot dishes but this looks great, chickenliscious
This is a great dish very simple i've made it very similar to this but I use fresh garlic and a pinch or 2 of cayenne for just a little kick. Green olives are fine but i think black olives would be more suited to this dish. Great video.
I am definitely going to try this.....the 2 ingredients that I will add to this dish is chopped celery and thyme. I'll add the chopped celery when sauteing the chicken, onion, garlic and red peppers. Then I'll add the thyme when the stock bubbles......oh not forgetting a little ground cayenne pepper for heat :)
Super! I love chicken and rice, but didn't know it could be cooked together. Going to try this for my family, but I will probably add cilantro instead. Thanks so much.
this is soooooo close to ARROZ CON POLLO we make in Panama!!! this is a very simple and easy recipe, i'm going to try it with this version!!! thanks
Really love the way u talk, thanks fr recipie
Made this the other night and my parents loved it! Thanks, Laura!
I made this and its amazing!! Even though I didn't have the chicken stock I used plain water,and it just blew my mind. Thanks for the wonderful recipe! xoxoxo
Something for the summer! Nice cool drink or popsicles!
Laura I made this and it tasted amazing. Thank you for the recipe. I didn't add the olives and I forgot to add the peas, but it still tasted amazing
Made this for dinner... Had so much leftover! Makes amazing leftovers! Thank you!
Im half Ghanian, half Italian and in Ghanian culture they make something similar to this called jollof rice and its sooo good. The only person that can make it is my Grandmother (shes Ghanian) and so I always await it while she cooks it. :)
Question and I don't want to come off as offensive at all, but I have Nigerian and Ghanaian friends and they are always saying their jollof is better than the others, are they made differently? Also, why is it such a big deal on who's taste better if they are made for different people/taste
I'm half Nigerian, half Liberian and I've tasted all three types jollof rice. I can safely say Liberian's jollof rice is the best, hands down. P.S. it's a big deal because it's a source of pride....hahahah
First thing I thought when i watched this video! Main difference is, tomato paste is used instead of chopped tomatoes... :)
