For my family, it was a good Sunday dinner; everyone gathered around the dinner table with a big casserole dish filled with rice and chicken. What could be better than sharing a good meal and lingering a little longer at the table with each other.

I am Cuban and love this EASY recipe...the other Cuban chicken rice takes a lot longer..but what I did do to make more authentic was to add a bottle of beer instead of the water to the rice it gives it a great taste..anyway that is what my authentic Cuban mother use to do!!

This also comes from a Miami Cuban. This is a good takeoff on Cuban Arroz con Pollo. I have been doing for years and have a reputation for this dish, and yes I brown the chicken first. Maybe our grandmothers did not do it that way and even though is a little bit of work it it improves the final product. Yes to the tomato sauce, you could use tomato paste or even better fresh tomatoes. And for heat I NOW add a jalapeno. You also need some bijol if you don't findit use some yellow food coloring. By the way why not call the dish Cuban Style Arroz con Pollo and avoid the controversy.

Quick, easy, & delicious. My husband loved it. I would add more chicken and chili powder in the future. There was a lot of leftover rice.

I thought it was awesome!! You should also try the Cajun Chicken Jambalaya! Equally awesome!

And, yes, I agree with the others-- the dish is not on the chopping block for whether or not it's 'textbook' cuban--- I'm so sick of good tasting meals getting bashed. Cooking it supposed to be fun-- and you "The Cuban" make it *****.

Bashing this recipe because it isn't an "authentic Cuban recipe" is absurd. She doesn't claim this to be "authentic" at all, and it's GOOD so honestly, who cares?

I thought one of the best things about cooking was sharing culture and adapting it. Where would we be if Italians didn't adapt pasta from the Chinese or if Cajuns didn't adapt French food? I think it's great that people want to support their heritage, but there's no reason to get upset because other people are adapting your food to fit their lifestyle. In fact, I really think people should be proud of that.

Hey "The Cuban", why don't you just calm down a bit?? Nobody is forcing you to make this dish. I have it on the stove right now and it smells delicious! By your logic, Hispanics should be throwing a fit with places like Taco Bell and Del Taco claiming to be mexican food. Or Italians up in arms over Olive Garden - People are so easily offended now a days - get a grip!

WOW! Everyone is rating this dish on the "authenticity" rather than the taste. What a deceptive rating system. Those of you who just want to bash the dish because it isn't authentic and haven't even tried it, need to watch another channel. You can hardly weigh in on a recipe unless you've actually TRIED it.
