Arroz Con Pollo

Submitted by BThomson

"Creamy, delicious recipe from my family. This is not a quick and easy variety like some of the others on food.com, but it's certainly not difficult! This involves making two sauces and mixing them, then adding them to the chicken. This dish can be served with white rice, or you can serve it with your favorite Spanish rice. I would suggest using fresh tomatoes for this dish."

This is not arroz con pollo like you've ever had before. It's almost like a latino flavoured stir fry, for lack of a better way of describing this. It wasn't bad, but I think I prefer traditional style more. <br/>Made for Fall 2011 PAC.
