This is a one pot, simple yet delicious version of Arroz con Pollo. I tried once to recreate a version that i remeberd from my favorite restaurant, but I tried to cook all the ingredients in a crok pot. NEVER cook rice in a crock pot. Read more It was horrible.Half of the rice ends up gruel while the other half is still crunchy. So this time I used Mexican Style Rice-a-Roni, because rice-a-roni has never done me wrong like that evil crock pot has. See less
