My sister-in-law wanted to compare recipes for Arroz con Pollo – and trust me, I am sure hers is MUCH better. Maybe she will let me share hers sometime soon… That being said, however… this is a pretty darn good rendition of Arroz con Pollo! It takes about an hour in the oven, but you can throw it together and forget about it until it is time to eat. Serve it with a little (OR ALOT) of jalapeno peppers and you are good to watch the game!
