Low-fat Arroz Con Pollo Recipe

	Markeverett / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago I haven't posted in a while and thought this might be something people might like. This is a nice adaptation of a good latin american dish. You can't use too much garlic in my mind. It's great served with black (or pinto) beans Prep:15m Cook:40m Servings:6	Markeverett
