Peruvian Arroz Verde Con Pollo Recipes

PERUVIAN ARROZ CON POLLO (PERUVIAN RICE AND CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with enough oil to coat the bottom. Brown chicken in the hot oil on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes total. Remove chicken onto a plate.
• Pour more oil into the pan and add onion; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro, chile paste, salt, and pepper and saute until cilantro turns dark green, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and deglaze, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a light simmer; let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer mixture carefully to an electric blender and puree.
• Heat more oil in the same pan over medium-high heat; saute bell pepper until soft, about 5 minutes. Return cilantro mixture to the pan and add chicken. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the pan. Add water and rice, adding more water if it doesn't look like enough. Bring to a boil; place a lid on the pan, reduce heat to low, and cook until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 40 minutes. Stir in peas and carrots and chicken and warm through, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Place two large skillets over medium heat, pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into each, and heat the oil until it ripples. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, divide between the two skillets, and fry until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Use screens over the skillets, if needed, to control spattering. Remove the chicken from the skillets, and drain on paper towels.
• Place the cilantro leaves, garlic, aji pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and orange juice into a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into one of the skillets, bring to a simmer, and cook and stir over medium-low heat until the mixture turns from bright to dark green, about 5 minutes.
• Place the chopped onions into the other skillet, and cook and stir over medium-low heat until the onions turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the rice, and cook and stir until the rice starts to turn opaque, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the white wine into the blender and pulse a few times to rinse off any extra cilantro mixture from the blender, and pour the wine into the skillet containing the cilantro mixture. Bring the mixture back to a simmer over medium heat, scrape the rice and onions into the cilantro mixture, stir in the chicken broth and black pepper, and bring to a boil. Place the browned chicken pieces and carrots into the skillet, stir to combine, and cover. Reduce heat, and cook until the rice is separate and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the lid, place the pepper rings on the rice, and sprinkle with frozen peas. Cover and cook without stirring until the peppers and peas are tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover the skillet and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

ARROZ CON POLLO PERUANO

Steps:

• For the arroz con pollo peruano: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a 3.5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl. Season with the cumin, oregano, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat evenly with the spices. Add the chicken to the Dutch oven and cook until golden on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Combine the garlic, cilantro, bell pepper, onion and beer in a blender until smooth, 15 to 20 seconds. Set aside.
• Remove the cooked chicken to a plate. Add the cilantro sauce and remaining 2 teaspoons salt to the Dutch oven, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Lower to medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until is reduced by about half and becomes a thick sauce, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the quick pickled red onions.
• For the quick pickled red onions: Rinse and drain the onions in a small bowl 2 to 3 times under cold water to wash away the harsh onion flavor. Toss with the lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside to marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Wash and rinse the rice until the water runs almost clear, 3 to 4 rinses. Set aside.
• Stir the rinsed rice, peas and carrots into the reduced cilantro sauce until the rice and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the seared chicken along with any juices that have collected and 1 1/2 cups water until combined. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover immediately and bake in the oven until the rice is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
• About 5 minutes before the arroz verde con pollo finishes cooking, preheat a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Swirl in the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil so it coats the bottom of the pan. Crack an egg into a small bowl and then carefully pour it into the preheated pan. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Fry until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the arroz con pollo from the oven and serve with the pickled red onions and fried eggs.
