The only drawback was that with the chicken just sitting on top of the flavorful rice the chicken had no. Arroz con Pollo is a classic Latin American dish, with each country???and each family, for that matter???having its own unique recipe. For mine, I like to use whole pieces of chicken (legs or thighs) that I season with chile powder, cumin, and oregano before adding the rice. A staple in Latin American kitchens, arroz con pollo combines inexpensive ingredients???chicken, rice, and spices???in a filling one-pot meal. To make our version, we chose moist chicken thighs, which we browned in a Dutch oven to build flavor and render fat.
