Chicken and Rice (Arroz con Pollo)

Perhaps, the number 1 dish of the Caribbean and Latin America.  Is it that great?  Well, YEA!  Economically speaking it the best buy.  Chicken is cheaper that beef and pork, so you do the math.  But perhaps, what really makes it #1 is the combination of these two ingredients.  Rice when combined with chicken becomes caviar and the chicken becomes lobster.  There are as many ways to cook rice and as there is to cook chicken.  The one thing I will say, there is no comparison when its cooked the Boricua way.  This chicken will enjoy marinating, browning, a bath in sofrito and spices.  Then it will absorb all these flavors and release its essence to the mix.  Finally, it will welcome its rice partner and together, they'll simmer, until the rice has completely absorbed every flavor in the pot.  Every flavor distinct but infused in the meat and rice.  Perhaps its physics or maybe its just good old fashion Puertorican caldero magic.  That's your meal for tomorrow.  The kitchen is ready, the chicken is marinating and the rice awaits.  Call before 10am, 11 Aug 675-2894 or email: donmael@gmail.com and reserve your seat at my table.  Buen Provecho!
