Just a note here, you don't leave the achiote seeds in the dish, you cook them in the oil to color and flavor the oil, then as the recipe says you drain the oil from the seeds and use ONLY the oil to brown the chicken. The seeds you throw away.

I made this dish to the letter except I used whole grain rice. The olives were over powering. I am not a fan of Olives but wanted to make the dish the first time as per the directions. The achote seeds stayed whole and crushed in my mouth, that was not fun. And my food was not very yellow as in the picture. I would make it again but omit the olives and maybe try Saffron as another reviewer said.

If you are intimidated by all the ingredients... don't be. I use saffron instead of the achiote seeds. I like the flavor and it gives it the right yellow color. Saffron is exspensive but the rest of the ingredients aren't so it works fine. By using Saffron you can cook in just one pot. I did have to add a little more broth than called for but other than that it was perfect. I have served it several times and someone always wants the recipe.

Very very easy to make and sure is a crown and tummies pleaser.

This is one of the best versions of the recipe I have tried and now it is a monthly standard. The only problem is the ingredients. Some are listed as 1 can or 1 jar. This seems a little strange but common sense will do the trick.
