  1. You go girl. This is exactly how I make my recipe being a boricua as well. The only suggestion I have is you should maybe add some chorizo, ham and some olives. I also cook it with beer.
     
  2. I have used this recipe twice in less than a month...and everybody just loves it. It is as close to true Puerto Rican "Arroz con Pollo" as I have ever had. Ricissimo!! I would not change a thing. And it's even better warmed up the next day. Add Abichuela and Corn Bread and I am in heaven.
