Arroz Con Pollo (Ana's Favorite!)

You will need two to four (2-4) chicken breasts (depending on how many will be dining and what part of the chicken you desire), one quarter (1/4) of a medium sized onion, one half (1/2) can of diced fire roasted tomatoes, two (2) chicken bouillon cubes, and one (1) 5oz. package of yellow rice, and one (1) tablespoon of vegetable oil for this recipe.

Chop a quarter of your onion into size desired.

Brown your chicken using the vegetable oil in a medium/large skillet or frying pan. Remove the chicken from the pan and let rest on a dish.

Meanwhile, boil 14 oz. of water and drop your two (2) bouillon cubes in to dissolve. You may also use prepared chicken broth or stock if you have some available.

After your chicken is done, saute your onions in the pan juices.

Add to the onions the tomatoes (do not drain), rice, chicken broth/stock, and your chicken. Carefully mix your ingredients together.

Cover your pan and let simmer on low for thirty-five to forty (35-40) minutes.  Check after thirty-five (35) and make sure your rice isn't burning on the bottom of your pan.

When the lid is removed your meal should look like this.  The broth and tomato juices will be completely absorbed by the rice.

Plate up and enjoy!
