"Arroz con Pollo" (chicken with rice) - A traditional Latin American dish

To prepare the "Arroz con pollo" recipe, first season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the chicken thighs until they are golden and crispy. This browning is important to give the thighs a deep flavor, so don't try to skip this step.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the onions, garlic and peppers and sauté until soft.

Add the rice to the pan and stir until it is well mixed with the vegetables. This is where the delicious aroma begins to develop.

Add the tomato paste, paprika and cumin and stir until the rice is evenly coated. These spices are key to this dish, so don't be shy when adding them.

Add the chicken stock and stir until everything is well mixed.

Place the chicken thighs on top of the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and leave to simmer for 20-25 minutes. By the way, it is important that you don't stir too often so as not to overcook the rice.

Now add the peas and cook for a further 5-10 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed.

Sprinkle fresh coriander over the "Arroz con pollo" before serving.

This recipe will immerse you in the rich and varied cuisine of Latin America. It is a simple yet delicious treat. Buen provecho!
