Arroz a la Chorrera

Moist chicken rice finished with beer and green peas.

About Arroz a la Chorrera

Arroz con pollo a la chorrera is a Cuban chicken-and-rice dish distinguished in Julie Maestre's account by its soupy consistency. This rendition uses her offered short-grain rice and bone-in dark chicken options.

Onion and red and green bell peppers form the aromatic base. Tomato sauce, cumin, oregano, bay and prepared seasonings flavour the rice, with capers and sofrito optional.

Beer and green peas enter near the finish, preserving the dish's loose, moist character. The author also offers tomato-avocado salad and fried plantains as accompaniments to the chicken rice.
