My whole family loves this. I use a can or bottle of light beer to add the extra unbeatable flavor.

This was my first time making arroz con pollo and I am glad I did. My husband loves his mother's recipe, and I have always been afraid to attempt making this dish for fear it wouldn't compare. He loved it! My modifications: I marinated the chicken for about three hours in the adobo spice rub, used pimento-stuffed green olives (I wasn't able to find the olives the recipe called for which worked terrific, added the chicken to the rice when adding the chicken stock, used home made chicken stock. Next time I will try adding beer as suggested here http://www.fondaboricua.com/NN_pfrecipe.php. This is definitely one for my permanent collection. Thank you Bobby!

Thanks for an excellent Arroz Con Pollo recipe. I love all the vegetables in the rice. The seasoning for the chicken is exceptional. I cut the recipe in half and only used chicken legs. Didn't add olives. Delicious.

this recipe came out absolutely delicious! i was only able to find one type of olives but that doesnt really matter. Next time i might rough chop the olives instead of throwing them whole as the ones i got were so salty. But in regards to the rice i felt it was delish! i couldnt believe i made it. anyway the next day it was gone! so good give this a try..

I thought it was very good. I wasn?t able to find picholine olives (I live in a relatively small town so I left them out, along with the pimento stuffed olives. I kind of wish I left out the bell peppers too. I don?t think they brought much to the party and may have even taken away from the adobo seasoning, which by the way I think was spot on. I grew up in Tampa FL and would get Arroz con Pollo at places like Pipos on Hillsborough Ave and the little hole in wall across the street from the Town and Country post office. Granted that?s Cuban and he was going for Puerto Rican but still, Adobo is Adobo.
I did run into a couple of problems. For instance, My Dutch oven is too small to fit both the chicken and the rice so I baked the chicken after frying. Also, I turned down the heat too much after bring the rice to an initial boil so my rice was under done. I ended up putting the Dutch oven in the regular oven for another 10 minutes on 350 to finish up the rice. I did notice they call for adding salt and pepper to the rice at the same point you add the stock, and bay leaf so maybe a little salt and pepper should be held back from the Adobo mix? it was kind of unclear.
Next time I think I?ll dumb it down a bit? just bake the chicken from the start. Cook the rice by itself leaving out the peppers and olives but adding a table spoon or so of Adobo seasoning. In any case this one made its way into my personal recipe box and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did? or more.

As others have noted, way too salty. might be a typo to be 2 teaspoons not 2 tablespoons as listed. Also cooking time is wrong and does not work with brown rice, only quick cooking rice. Chicken did have nice flavor

I thought this chicken and rice recipe was good but seemed like something was missing. The tumeric gives it that great color but it didnt have enough spice for my tastes. I will make this recipe again but try adding different spices.

This turned out very good although it tastes more like a Spanish Paella than an Adobo dish. Must be the olives....

I love Bobby's recipes because he really knows how to layer on the flavor! This was so good and easy. The fresh herbs and citrus at the end...taste and texture--perfection!

To the reviewer below, I added the chicken back after adding the rice and bringing the mixture to boil, then reducing it to simmer. (Also added back in whatever juices had collected The rice and chicken were perfectly cooked.
