Arroz Con Pollo (Chicken And Rice) instructions

Season thawed chicken thighs with adobo seasoning and black pepper-- you can use any type of chicken you like.
Heat oil in medium to large pot - you will use this same pot to cook everything.
Brown chicken in oil, about 5-7 minutes each side. Once browned on both sides set aside chicken (do not drain oil off chicken).
In pot add capers to heated oil , i add the capers first so the flavors just burst!.
Add sofrito, tomato sauce, sazon and olives (i love the green olives with the pimento, i add about 2 tbsp)... Let sauce heat up about 2 minutes, stir frequently.
Once sauce is heated and mixed together add rice ( any rice will do, i use mahatma jasmine rice) and add water.
Stir once--- you do not want to stir the rice too much as it will become soggy rice.
Bring to a boil , boil about 5 minutes.. Reduce heat and let simmer until water is absorbed-- while the rice is cooking i like to shred up the chicken, for this particular meal i just cut it into small slices.
You can add the chicken anytime , i like to add mine when the rice is almost done just because it makes for easier cooking time for the rice....
Remove from heat and enjoy!!!.
