Chicken And Rice A La Valenciana-Arroz Con Pollo Nicaraguense Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This version of the classic latin american arroz con pollo (chicken and rice) is popular in nicaragua and very similar to spanish paella, particularly the style of paella that is traditional in valencia, spain. The latin american adaptation of this dish features certain characteristic ingredients-ham (or chorizo sausage), chicken, olives, red bell peppers, peas, and tomatoes, and is often seasoned with beer-but each cook has his or her personal preferences when preparing this dish. Arroz con pollo makes an excellent lunch or supper dish and is a great way to use up odds and ends in the refrigerator. In nicaragua, arroz con pollo is often served with toast.
