My mother in law is Cuban and she has been making arroz con pollo for a long time but she never mixes in the rice, she always puts the rice separate so I went ahead and created an Insta-pot version of her pollo because its sooo good! You can pear this up with cauliflower rice or citrus cauliflower rice or yellow rice OR both! I have to literally make both myself because my kids love rice.
Ingredients:
2.5 pounds chicken legs (I love dark meat but you can use any part of the chicken that you like)
1/4 cup bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large white onion, roughly chopped
1/4 cup garlic, chopped
1/4 cup carrots, chopped
6/8 radishes halved or 3 red potatoes cut into 4 pieces
1/4 cup green olives
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup chicken broth
3 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
1/2 smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup fresh parsley
Directions:
Turn on your Insta-pot to sauté and add your olive oil, bacon, onions, garlic, carrots and cook down for 2/3 minutes.
Add your tomato paste and cook down for another 2/3 minutes.
In a medium size bowl add your chicken legs and all your dry spices except bay leaves. Give it a good toss so the spices are evenly dispersed and than add them to your Insta-pot.
Now add the rest of your ingredients and top with a tiny splash of olive oil and close lid.
You will need to set your Insta-pot to pressure on high for 45 minutes.
All done!
You can serve this with cauliflower rice, white rice or yellow rice.
Enjoy!
xoxo
