Шаг за шагом

1. 1

   Season the chicken thigh pieces generously with salt and black pepper.

   Около 5 мин

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

   Около 1 мин

3. 3

   Add the chicken to the pot in a single layer and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

   Около 7 мин

   Совет повара: Do not cook the chicken through completely at this stage, just get a good sear.

4. 4

   Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

5. 5

   Add the yellow onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

6. 6

   Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until softened.

7. 7

   Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

   Около 1 мин

8. 8

   Deglaze the pot with the dry white wine, scraping up any remaining bits from the bottom. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the wine has mostly evaporated.

   Около 3 мин

9. 9

   Stir in the chicken broth, rinsed long grain rice, annatto powder, crushed saffron threads, dried oregano, ground cumin, and bay leaf.

   Около 1 мин

10. 10

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes.

    Около 20 мин

    Совет повара: Do not lift the lid during this time to allow the rice to cook evenly.

11. 11

    After 20 minutes, gently stir in the reserved chicken and frozen green peas.

    Около 1 мин

12. 12

    Re-cover the pot and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

    Около 15 мин

13. 13

    Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

    Около 10 мин

    Совет повара: This resting period allows the rice to fully absorb any remaining moisture and become fluffy.

14. 14

    Fluff the arroz con pollo with a fork, remove the bay leaves, and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired before serving.
