Arroz con Pollo Recipe | Easy Chicken and Rice | Chef Zee Cooks

Today I’m going to be showing you how to make an easy Arroz con Pollo which is a skillet Chicken and Rice recipe that comes together quickly. I used sofrito and sazon to season the chicken and rice, which will give you the best arroz amarillo -- yellow rice. All you do is season the chicken, brown it, then toast the rice, and steam cook it in a skillet until it’s fluffy and ready to eat. In the end, you get beautiful crunchy rice much like you do in a chicken paella. This Arroz con Pollo is so comforting! Don’t forget to join the Chef Zee family & subscribe!

I have never, ever, ever been able to make rice like this. I did it today with your recipe. It's amazing!!

Girl!!!! I made this recipe with the giant rice pot because I doubled the recipe knowing that I would want to be a glutton and used boneless chicken thigh pieces(for my husband and toddler) as well as the bone in leg and thighs (for me)!!! Once again a Chef Zee recipe was a hit!!! Wow! Just amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! Xoxo

Bendito. Chef Zee. I love the way you do your thing in the kitchen. Believe me I know. I made a comment on your Oxtail's. Keep doing your thing girl. You remind me of my older sister. Even though im 51 years old but we have that Latino family talk con amor. Like our grandma use to say. La comida se hace con amor. Much Love From a puerto rican to a Dominican Cuban super Chef. God Bless those hands.

[KristinaBotelho]

This is basically my mom and grandmothers recipe, I use your recipes as a refresher since I don’t cook Dominican food every night. Thank you for your clear instruction! It’s always amazing!

[dalechristopher]

I love your Dominican/Cuban food recipes. Please consider making more fish recipes for us Pescatarians. I already know it will be bomb.

[MO-zztu]

[PatiC-cw]

Thank you so much for this video! Arroz con pollo is a classic comfort food we all grew up on, but I feel like people don't talk about it that much anymore! Thanks again!

[felixnieves]

[BlossomLight]

Ty so much frfr that is and was delicious....I grew up in Washington Heights but no one ever taught me this dish slamming! ❤My kids enjoyed it.

[rustyfan]

This is one of my all time favorite dishes, I’ve tried so many recipes from YouTube but I’ve never made yours, I just made arroz con pollo last night but I just made my own recipe using different ideas from other recipes yours is next on my list as it looks so good, I’m not a professional chef but I do cook a lot and I can usually tell from a recipe if I’ll like it or not

[carissabartholomae]

I love your Dominican and Cuban recipes, I traveled to Cuba right before Covid. I especially love arroz con pollo

[Inkdbrz]

Thank you for this recipe. Currently doing it right now can’t wait to eat it!!!

[Raysa_yissell]

I love that you do it this way. Toasting it was the only way I was able to learn to make it right. My grama tried to teach me boiling the water then adding the rice way but I always messed it up. Had to find my own way. Can't wait to try your recipe, especially with the new and improved sofrito. Thank you for your channel as a Dominican who loves food is hard to find videos like this

[elenaflores]

I made this today and it was so delicious!!! I mixed Puerto Rican flavors on the chicken and made the rice like you advised. Thank you for sharing this amazing meal!!

[chabarduangsay]

So I came across your video after my failed attempt at Spanish chicken pot rice. Made your version tonight, and GIRLLL. Omg. Let me call you Sis. Because this came out AMAZING!! I used bone in chicken thighs for this recipe with the skin on. The rice was perfect with the crispy bits on the bottom. Everything full of flavor in every bite. Even my picky boyfriend loved this. Thank you so much! I look forward to trying more of your recipes

[fmurphy]

Sis with your recipe I finally mastered this dish.i was using to much water this’s one of my favorite dishes.thank you & happy Holidays to you & family.
