In a Cuban home, nothing is more comforting than a big plate of “Arroz con Pollo”. I can recall, after a long day at high school and soccer practice, devouring more than a plate full. The savor aroma that fills your home while you cook this meal is almost as comforting as the meal itself. Every Cuban family has their special Arroz con Pollo recipe, having a preference on how soupy the end results looks like, but this basic recipe is the foundation. Make Arroz con Pollo for a family gathering or special party; the tastes are complex, yet the dish is easy to make. I hope you enjoy this Cuban comfort food as much as I have in my childhood, and my children do now.
