Best Arroz con Pollo!

This recipe was easy, delicious and met with rave reviews from my family. I used only 2 cups of chicken broth since the beer, sherry and other juices appeared to be plenty of liquid (plus the rice soaked for an hour) and it turned out grea - could have even used a little less broth. I also used chicken breast which definitely was a little too dry so I'd use some thigh next time.




Awesome!

Sorry, but I followed the recipe as written and came up with a soupy mess. The rice did not cook well and there was too much fluid. Nothing like the cuban arroz con pollo I was hoping for.




high praise

I have made this recipe several times and love a love a love it! I am so fond of spanish rice so thought I would try it and was instantly impressed. It is delicious and easy to make. I cannot say enough.




Way too gummy!

I made this recipe to exact specifications and though it tasted fine, it was way too gummy in it's consistency. I'll try it again using a long grain rice and perhaps it will work better. The only thing that needs to be fixed on this recipe is the consistency.

this was magnifico, took more time than i thought it would, plus i used whole grain brown rice instead of white and i think that caused a problem with the liquid, i ended up taking it out of the oven and poored out most of the liquid left and then boiled on the stove top until all the moisture was gone. i will make this again.




Mushy Rice

It was delicious but my rice came out too soft and mushy and I didn't even touch touch it while cooking.used to I like the rice close to al dente, the way my dad would make it. I will try adding less olive oil and less chicken stock next time.
