Arroz Con Pollo Valenciana - Columbia Restaurant (Chicken & created by Chantice C.

This is a recipe from the famous Cuban "Columbia Restuarant" site. There are several restaurants here in the Tampa area and a few other major Florida cities. My DS's girlfriend just loves this restaurant, so I looked online for their recipes and found them on their own site. Serve this along with the "Columbia Salad" recipe I posted, recipe#473755 for a true experience.

This is a "go to" recipe. Super easy and delicious. Crowd pleasing. I prefer to only use dark meat for mine.

This recipe has one major flaw. You DO need to cook the rice first! It seems like common sense to cook the rice I KNOW but I didn't read it that way at all. It calls for uncooked rice. I worked all afternoon and then it was awful.

This dish is absolutely delicious! The flavors and colors are truly wonderful! I did not have saffron on hand, so I used turmeric for color. This makes such a wonderful presentation -- wish I could have snapped a picture before my family dove in. I will definitely make this dish again - thanks so much for posting it! Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag, June, 2013.
