One-Pot Spanish Chicken and Yellow Rice

onion, chopped

olive oil

garlic cloves,

chicken

water

½ (16 ounce) package yellow rice (such as Vigo®)

peas

Combine onion, olive oil, and garlic in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add chicken breasts; cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Pour in water; bring to a boil.


Pour yellow rice into the boiling water. Cover and simmer over medium heat until chicken and rice are tender, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle frozen peas on top; cook until thawed, about 2 minutes. Mix up rice.


I used parboiled rice and Spanish paprika and turmeric for the golden color. I should’ve made extra!

Super simple and flavorful. This would be perfect for nights you don't have much time in the kitchen. I think using the frozen pea/carrot combo would be good too and even add more color.  I prefer my chicken grilled but this worked great for a night I had other things to do besides being stuck in the kitchen for hours.

I had a package of drumsticks in the freezer so I substituted them for the breast meat and used broccoli and some chopped red peppers instead of the peas. We all agreed it was delicious!

Made as listed and it was horrible.  I used the Vigo rice and there is something in that rice mix that my taste buds do not like.  I will never buy it again as this is the third time in two years that I have made a dish with it and the results are the same. 

Will never buy Vigo rice again.  I thought it was Curry, but the package does not list Curry as an ingredient  but it does contain Aluminum which is another reason to never buy again.

I used less oil, and a Goya box of the Arroz Amarillo - delish!
