Chicken and Rice


This is so good, savory and yummy, one pot and very quick and easy to make.

Ingrediants

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can diced tomatoes
4 cloves of garlic
1 packet Sazon Goya con Culantro y Achiote
1 tsp cumin
1 cup rice
1 1/3 c water
1 medium red onion





 Directions

1. Butterfly chicken and cut into medium sized chunks or strips. Brown them in a pot with a tablespoon or two of olive oil until browned on both sides. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
2. Slice onions lengthwise and saute them in the pot, add the 1/3 cup of water to scrape up all the chicken bits in the pot. Let them soften until they begin to caramelize.
3. Pour in chopped garlic, sazon and cumin, cook for about a minute or two, pour in can of tomatoes and let simmer with lid on for about 8 minutes. Till the tomatoes break down and a sauce begins to thicken.
4. Place chicken back into the pot and add one cup of water. Let simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
5. After 20 minutes, give pot a stir and add in one cup of rice (you may want to take out chicken to add the rice in, stir around and then put chicken back in). Cover, and let simmer until rice is cooked and all water is absorbed.. about 15 to 20 minutes. Then it's ready to serve!
