Since having health issues, I now have a health aide who is Dominican & she taught me how to make this. It's a little different from the Puerto Rican recipe my daughter gave me but this is so good! Just a note; You may have to adjust the water & broth amts. It depends on how big the chicken thighs are.

How To Make arroz con pollo-my way!

Separate the skin, just a little, from the chicken. Sprinkle 1 packet of Sazon under skin of each chicken thigh. In a large, heavy pot over medium high heat, add oil. Once hot, add chicken. Cook 5 minutes on both sides of chicken, Add in Sofrito & last packet of sazon. Stir & cook 10 minutes.

Step 2

Add dry rice & stir for just a minute or 2. Stir in pigeon peas & undrained pink beans, tomato sauce, olives, water & chicken broth. Stir only once, bring to a boil.
Step 3

Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until liguid is gone. Gently stir w/ a wooden spoon, from bottom of pan. Check to make sure chicken is done. If so, it's done, lol. If not, reduce heat to low & cook another 5-10 minutes.
