Why I Love This Recipe

One of my favorite dishes of all time. I lived in Miami for many years and Authentic Cuban Arroz con Pollo is without comparison in my opinion. This is how I prepare it in my house and it is simply wonderful! You can take the chicken off the bone as well and mix with the rice, but I have always enjoyed eating it right off the bone.

One of my sons was stationed in Cuba for a while and he was always telling me about the wonderful food that was brought to him. He had no idea what any of it was but said he ate it and enjoyed it tremendously.
