One-Dish Chicken & Rice (Asopao de Pollo)

From EatingWell: September/October 2007

This Puerto Rican one-dish chicken and rice stew is rich in flavor.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I just made this dish. It was very tasty and easy. For me it is basically chicken and rice. You need to have a good cooking pot, I used a cast aluminum one. As one person noted, typical Puerto Rican food is not spicy hot. I enjoy PR food...

Not true PRican Asopao

Asopao does not have anaheim nor poblano peppers-- that is for mexican dishes. We use a base called sofrito which includes a mix of finely chopped; greenpeppers (sweet peppers), onions, garlic and cilantro/culantro. This is then sauteed in achiote oil until all the water is cooked out. It's a simple and healthy enough dish, Eating Well should've double checked the recipe before posting this mess.

Excellent dish

My fiancee and I both enjoyed this a great deal. I did not have brown rice on hand, so we had to use white basmati. I also used a mix of 2 parts chicken breast to 1 part chicken thighs. I also added a chicken boullion cube to add a deeper flavor.

I would use a little less oregano than the recipe calls for. Plus I would double the green olives. We will definitely make this again.

Pros: Very filling and tasty

Great for potlucks

This is a great recipe. I've made it a number of times. It makes a lot and is always a hit at potlucks. The only problem is that the simmering time in the instructions is way too short. Every time I've made it, it has had to simmer for well over an hour. So be sure to leave yourself extra time.

Pros: easy,tasty
