Cuban-Style Chicken and Rice

An incredibly tasty, filling dinner the whole family will love! Cubans eat well. And even though their midday meal often skips soup and stewed fruit, that gap gets filled by a big, rich serving of the main course. Here's a recipe for one of those dishes — chicken and rice.

  • I take a cleaned, gutted chicken and scald it with boiling water. Then I rub it with salt, lemon juice, and minced garlic and let it sit for an hour. Meanwhile, I sauté the coarsely chopped onion and garlic in oil. I add rings of sweet bell pepper, tomato pulp, and a little water, and leave the vegetables to stew. I sear the chicken in a sauté pan until it's almost cooked through, then add the rinsed rice. I give the pan a shake, pour in the chicken broth, the wine, and the liquid from the canned peas, then add the sautéed onion, garlic, and tomato, along with salt and pepper. I cook everything until the chicken is done, then stir in the canned peas. Sweet canned peppers make a great side.
