Arrozo Con Pollo

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups long grain rice

2 - 3 lbs lightly seasoned chicken (chicken sections, deboned)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup chopped white onion

1 oz of either beef summer sausage, chopped pork bacon, or diced cooking ham

1/4 cup sofrito (I have 2 sofrito videos on my channel!)

2 garlic cloves, mashed

1/2 cup tomato sauce

2 tbsp diced pimientos

Spanish olives or "alcaparrado"

1 1/2 packets Goya Sazón

1 chicken bouillon

1/4 tsp oregano flakes

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 bay leaf

1 tsp salt

About 3 cups water (NOTE - If this doesn't seem like enough water for 3.5 cups of long grain rice, remember, the chicken will continue to release moisture as the rice cooks! Therefore, adding less water for this specific rice dish will help prevent a mushy arroz con pollo! E
