[fitcoach2007]

@yadilyna any grocery store in the spice isle you will find saffron.

Check out my channel for my Arroz con pollo remix ( I used spinach) and its really easy to make. I am a college student so I need quick meals that remind me of home.

Can't you cook the rice first otherwise the nutrition from the vegetables is cooked out

[brianboru62]

@Reverseflush eh????? how much nutritcian do you expect to lose from 3 minutes cooking of onion loool besides the rice absorbs the cooking liquer but also the rice isnt meant to be dry cooked its only there to be 'SEALED' BEFORE STOCK IS INTRODUCED.jeepers creepers where do they get these cooks from round the friggin world

[p00pdawg]

When you threw the rice in the pot was it already cooked or was it dry? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

[fitcoach2007]

@p00pdawg Never a dumb question. It was not cooked.

Coach,

If I was back home in California I would know the exact place to get oregano. But here in Japan....any ideas or substitutes?

[fitcoach2007]

Try some culantro or cilantro

[SilverShark1010]

how many does this serve?

[fitcoach2007]

makes 6-8 servings

[9aspengold5]

I can remember my mother adding green olives or capers to her arroz con pollo. have you ever tried that??

[fitcoach2007]

I have never been a big capers fan. I do love olives but have never used it in this recipe.

[shooaholic]

Juan, I just LOOOOOOOVE chicken and rice. Now THAT is something I could eat jus about every day. Oh wait...I already do! Thank you for your version. It will definitely add a different recipe to my chix&rice collection. As usual, you always come though.

[fitcoach2007]

you are very welcome, enjoy!

[purplepop2008]

Ricky Ricardo's favorite!

[pomomary]

Oh man this looks so good!!!!

[tasha777]

looks very good. i am looking forward to making this dish! thank you

[katiemh80]

that looks good but thats not how u make arroz con pollo the puerto rican way

[fitcoach2007]

No it is not, but I am CUBAN, ha ha

[tasha777]

do you have to cook the rice first before you add it to the pot?

[fitcoach2007]

No you do not cook the rice first.

[PinupCandy]

I think he's trying to make this a different way for people seeking alternatives for losing weight. I'm puerto rican, too, but this would be a great way to make it for me without the white rice, jarred sofrito, and stuff that I should be avoiding :)

[MissJanieHere]

YUM!!!!!! arroz con pollo..how i miss that!

[daisyflower22]

Thanks for answering back to me, sorry for the many questions!

[daisyflower22]

One again a delicious looking recipe, i was just wondering if i can use a regular onion, as we dont have spanish onions here, also can i omit the wine? and can i use skinless chicken breasts instead?

[fitcoach2007]

yes to all your questions.

[crosspecans]

[freshfoodiefitness]
