From Ordinary to Extraordinary: Add a MAMBO Kick to Your Arroz con Pollo

Arroz con pollo is a classic Latin American dish that combines flavorful chicken with savory rice. But why settle for ordinary when you can add a MAMBO kick to take it to the next level? This recipe will show you how to transform your arroz con pollo into a dish that is truly extraordinary.

Ingredients:

2 lbs of chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on

2 cups of long-grain white rice

1 onion, diced

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 cup of frozen peas

1 can of diced tomatoes

2 cups of chicken broth

1 teaspoon of cumin

1 teaspoon of paprika

1 teaspoon of oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1/4 cup of MAMBO hot sauce

Preparation:

1. Season and Brown the Chicken:

Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and oregano. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken thighs on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Time: 10 minutes

2. Sauté the Aromatics:

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

Time: 5 minutes

3. Add the Rice and Tomatoes:

Add the rice to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add the diced tomatoes with their juices and stir to combine.

Time: 2 minutes

4. Simmer with Chicken Broth:

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

Time: 20 minutes

5. Add the Chicken and Peas:

After 20 minutes, nestle the browned chicken thighs into the rice mixture. Add the frozen peas on top. Cover the skillet again and let it cook for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Time: 10 minutes

6. Finish with MAMBO Hot Sauce:

Once the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender, drizzle the MAMBO hot sauce over the top. Give everything a good stir to incorporate the hot sauce into the dish.

Time: 1 minute

Now, your arroz con pollo MAMBO is ready to serve! This dish is packed with flavor and a spicy kick that will leave your taste buds dancing. Enjoy this extraordinary take on a classic favorite.
