Arroz con Pollo-Cuban Style #SundaySupper

We are all very excited to have another chance to re-create some of Katie Workman's recipes from The Mom 100 Cookbook for #SundaySupper!  When I first got her book, the first thing I wanted to try was her One-Pot Arroz con Pollo.  This is a great, filling meal with tender chicken and lots of great flavor.  I put a little twist on her recipe and made it Cuban Style.  My neighbor showed me how to make this many years ago and it has been a favorite ever since.

 We are honored to have Katie as our guest during our #SundaySupper live chat at 7:00 pm est.  Join us and chat with Katie about being a mom, kids and Spending time Around the Family Table.

 We will be giving away 3 copies of the Mom 100 Cookbooks. This is an event you don’t want to miss!!

Arroz con Pollo-Cuban Style

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 chicken thighs and 6 drumsticks, bone-in, skin on, or chicken pieces of your choice
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 medium green pepper, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (8 oz.) Goya Spanish Style tomato sauce
• 1 bottle beer (I used Corona- any beer you like will do)
• 3-1/2 cups chicken stock
• 2 cups long grain rice
• 1 tsp. Badia or Bijol (found in the Spanish section of most supermarkets)
• 1 envelope of Sazon Goya 
• 1 10 oz. pkg. frozen peas
• 1 small jar (4 oz.) Goya Fancy Pimientos, cut into strips
• 1/2 to 1 cup stuffed olives (optional)

 Heat 2 Tbsp. oil over moderate heat in a heavy saute pan.  Rinse chicken pieces and dry with a paper towel.  Season chicken with salt and pepper and paprika.  Saute chicken pieces until lightly browned.  Transfer to a large stock pot.  Add onions, green pepper and garlic to warm drippings in pan.  Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are softened and beginning to caramelize.  Stir in tomato sauce; blend and spoon over chicken.  Add 1-1/4 cup stock and beer to pot.  Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer over low heat and simmer until chicken is tender; 30-40 minutes.   Add remaining stock to chicken and add rice.  Mix 1 tsp. Badia in 1/2 cup cold water and Sazon and add to stock.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer.  Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed; 20-25 minutes.

Garnish with pimiento strips and olives.

You can leave the chicken pieces whole, or take them off the bone and shred.
