This dish takes practice to get the rice not over cooked and the chicken to come out right. I did make my own Sofrito (less the Culantro - I could not find. It freezes great - put into an ice tray (this makes about 2 trays put in a zip lock bag and put in the freezer. I have also noticed great soffritos in little pouches at my latin market - I have not tried but will next time I make it.

I do make the following changes to daisy's recipe. I add one spanish Chorizo, finely diced Carrots, Red pepper, and spanish paprika - I also add one can of black beans.

This is a staple in my house. I have got the best results by using daisy method (one inch of liquid over the rice - use a wooden spoon to measure. I remove from the heat when not quite all of the liquid is absorbed and let it sit covered for about 20 minutes to finish absorbing the liquid and cooking the chicken. I love it this! it's an elegant way to make chicken, but it does take a few times to get it right.

I total agree with Sugerray37. I followed the instructions to the tee with the same out come; BLAND. The only good thing that I found was okay, was browning the chicken with the Achiote oil. This is not your grandmothers Arroz con Pollo.

Are you kidding me???? I cook for a living, so I can promise you I did this correctly, but WOW, I got all the special ingredients, roasted my own red peppers, made my own achiote oil and sofrito. I even added twice the garlic to the sofrito, and twice the sofrito to the recipe! The chicken and the rice was beautifully cooked, but bland, bland, BLAND. Don't waste your time. Or at least don't bother to make your own sofrito or achiote oil. Huge waste of time. If it wasn't for the fresh cilantro, and roasted red peppers on top, it wouldn't have tasted like anything.

Believe what the woman says. This recipe will change your life!! Not only me, but my matie too craves this dish. Before making this recipe (followed to the letter I only THOUGHT I had already made the best rice. Daisy taught me that I hadn't known how to make it at all--until now. I even mail ordered those special little ajices dulces, used what was needed and froze the rest for later use. Worth every penny. Worth all the effort too, so if you don't want to know you'll be making this for the rest of your life, then don't ever make it the first time. Thanks, Daisy. You improved the quality of life in our household.
