My Cuban mother-in-law makes the best Arroz Con Pollo, but it is very time consuming. This is my quick, weeknight version of the dish she makes. —Jacqueline Correa, Landing, New Jersey

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup uncooked long grain rice

Would probably be better with Recaito and Soffrito made by Goya and Sazon

That is not a Cuban rice and chicken, that is just rice with cooked chicken probably no taste , the "Cuban Arroz con Pollo" is very special and tasteful

Quick and easy but a bit bland. Next time I will double the spice.
