Before you jump to (Somewhat Deconstructed) Arroz con Pollo recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Easy Ways to Get Healthy.
Everyone knows that in order to truly be healthy you need to eat a naturally healthy and balanced diet and get a proper workout regularly. However, we do not always have the time or the power that this type of lifestyle involves. At the conclusion of the day, most of us want to go home, not to the gym. A hot, grease laden burger is usually our food of choice and not a leafy green salad (unless we are vegetarians). You should be thankful to learn that getting healthy doesn't always have to be super hard work. With practice you can get all of the nutrients and the physical exercise that you need. Here are some tips to be as healthy as possible.
Go up the stairs. Instead of selecting the elevator, ascend the stairs to your floor. While this will be hard to do if you live on or if your job is on a seriously high level floor in a skyscraper, taking the stairs to a home or office on, say, the fifth floor is completely do-able. If you do work on a super high floor, why not get off the elevator a couple of floors early and walk the rest of the way? So many people choose the elevator over climbing even a single flight of stairs. Even if you only have one flight to climb, climbing along it during the day is a great way to get additional exercise.
There are plenty of things you can do to become healthy. Intensive gym visits and narrowly defined diets are not always the answer. Little things, when done every single day, can do a lot to make it easier to get healthy and lose pounds. Being clever when you choose your food and actions is where it begins. Looking to get in as much physical exercise as possible is another. Remember: being healthy isn’t just about losing weight. You really want your body to be strong too.
We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let's go back to (somewhat deconstructed) arroz con pollo recipe. To cook (somewhat deconstructed) arroz con pollo you need 13 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you do it.
The ingredients needed to make (Somewhat Deconstructed) Arroz con Pollo:
- Provide 3 pounds of chicken pieces (We like skin-on, but you can do skin off).
- Provide 2 teaspoons of salt.
- Prepare 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
- Provide 2 Tablespoons of flour.
- Provide 1 Tablespoon of oil.
- Use 1 of medium onion, minced.
- Use 1 of small bell pepper, minced (I like the sweeter red, orange and yellow ones for this recipe.).
- Provide 6 cloves of garlic, chopped.
- You need 1 packet of sazon con azafran (I use Goya brand.).
- Use 1 cup of canned tomatoes (crushed, diced, pureed all ok).
- You need 1 cup of unsalted chicken stock.
- You need 1 of bay leaf.
- Get 1 cup of frozen peas.
Steps to make (Somewhat Deconstructed) Arroz con Pollo:
- Season chicken with the 2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and then dust with 2 Tablespoons of flour. Then, in a 4 to 5 quart pot, bring 1 Tablespoon oil up to medium high heat, then brown chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side and set aside. You'll probably want to break this up into two batches so you don't crowd your cooking surface..
- If you used skin-on chicken, you'll have a bit of rendered chicken fat left in your pot. Remove all but about 1 Tablespoon and add your onion, pepper, and garlic and sweat the mixture until the onions are translucent. (This Holy Trinity base of Latin cooking is called refrito or sofrito, depending on the region) If you didn't use skin on, you'll want to add up to another (1) Tablespoon of oil to the pot..
- Add your sazon packet and mix it in..
- Add tomatoes, stock, and bay leaf and give it a couple of good stirs..
- Add in your chicken, turn the heat down to medium, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, and ensuring that the heat doesn't get so hot that the chicken is boiling or the sauce is burning on the bottom of the pan. You can check for that by scraping the cooking surface with your cooking spoon and seeing if you get any solids accumulating.) During this first part of the simmer, you'll want to start the knifework for your Garlic Yellow Rice. (Link to that recipe is above.).
- After 20 minutes, flip the chicken pieces, turn the heat down to medium low, and simmer, covered, for another 20 minutes or so. About 10 minutes into this second simmer, you'll want to adjust seasoning if needed. At this point, you'll be able to move on to the cooking part of the Garlic Yellow Rice..
- After the second simmer, stir in your peas, then cut the heat..
- Once the rice is done, plate the rice, topped with a piece or two of chicken and a healthy drizzle of the sauce..
- If you made the quickled onions to go with, put a little of those on top and garnish with a bit of chopped cilantro if you like. Enjoy! :).
