Arroz Con Pollo Valenciana - Columbia Restaurant (Chicken &

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 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!
