Arroz con Pollo

Arroz con Pollo | Mini Van Dreams

I love ordering Arroz con Pollo in restaurants. I love the mix of flavors and heat that goes into the dish. I will never be that good of a cook, but… this is a pretty darn good rendition of this dish!  It takes about an hour in the oven, but you can throw it together and forget about it until it is time to eat.  Serve it with a little (OR ALOT) of jalapeno peppers and you are good to watch the game!
