Quick and Easy Arroz con Pollo

Quick and Easy Arroz con Pollo

This is not my mom’s arroz con pollo.  My mom makes the best, stick to your ribs; soothe your soul arroz con pollo.  It also takes her a few hours to make it.  On days when all patience gets thrown out the door and my soul needs soothing I rely on tasty shortcuts to give my belly exactly what it needs, arroz con pollo.

First off the cooking time is cut in half by using pre-made rice from last night’s dinner.  I always have rice stashed away in the fridge.  A can of diced tomatoes with chiles, a few cups of frozen veggies, a quick sauté and dinner is served.

Serve alongside a few warm corn tortillas y con un poquito de salsa y listo!

Welcome to Week 3 of the H-E-B meal maker challenge where Texas bloggers come together to bring you Family friendly meals in 30 minutes or less and 7 ingredients or less.

This week’s featured ingredient is H-E-B’s Natural chicken Breasts. My freezer is always stocked with chicken, whether whole, legs, tenders or whole cut fryers to BBQ.  Amazing for home-made chicken stock and of course for caldo de pollo, chicken is must-have in my home. Chicken was also the first protein I learned to cook as a teenager, so we have a pretty tight relationship.
