Paso #1

Arroz con pollo –literally rice with chicken – is another one of those meals that I want when I crave a good home cooked meal. Each person’s version of that home cooked meal varies based on their personal experiences

Paso #3

Rub the garlic seasoning on the chicken pieces.







Paso #4

Heat the oil or butter on medium high heat in large sauté pan, add the chicken pieces (skin side down) and cook until browned on each side.







Paso #5

Add the diced onions, tomatoes, bell pepper, and celery, mix well and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.







Paso #6

Add 1 cup of beer or white wine, cook for about 20-25 minutes over medium heat until the liquid is reduced by half, stir frequently.

Cover and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the rice is tender but still slightly firm.
