Arroz con Pollo (Chicken and Rice) Recipe

Made a great little dish last night for supper - It looks a lot like gumbo but it is actually a variation of a couple of Arroz Con Pollo recipes I manipulated

Ingredients:

2 Chicken Breasts, cubed

2 hot chorizo/pork sausages (skins removed and meat cut up)

3 tbsp. olive oil

2 c. uncooked long grain rice

1 c. chopped onion

4 clove garlic, chopped

1 roasted Poblano Pepper (deseeded and chopped)

2 cups chopped fresh tomato

4 cups of broth (can be vegetable or chicken - I used both)

1/2 Lime juice

Cilantro (Fresh) to garnish

Spices: (mix in a small bowl): 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. basil, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/2 tsp. black pepper, 1/2 tsp. paprika, 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes 1/2 tsp. turmeric, 1 bay leaf and a pinch of saffron threads (if you have them, otherwise turmeric will provide color)

In large Dutch oven, place 1 1/2 tbs. olive oil and heat to medium high temperature. Add chicken and sausage, cook about 5 minutes or until meat is starting to brown. Add rice, onion, peppers, and garlic to pan; stir fry about 5 minutes. Add the spice mixture, lime juice and stir. Add 4 cups of broth. Bring to boil and add tomatoes.

Cover, reduce heat to low and continue cooking about 30 minutes or until until rice is done. Serve in bowls. Add extra broth directly to the bowl for soup-like consistency. Add fresh cilantro for garnish and taste.

Makes hella lot of food. (easily 5-6 servings)
