The first stop is to the taqueria
Arroz con pollo (Mexican chicken with rice) would always be the first thing I ate when I returned to the USA from abroad. After a tortuous 17-hour flight, I need my spicy chicken and rice to cheer me up. Tender chicken with mushrooms and peas simmered in a spicy tomato broth with rice was something I dreamed about when so far away from home. So, before we went home, we stopped at the local taqueria.

As trips home become fewer and far between, I started experimenting at home with how to replicate it at home in my Asian apartment kitchen. Although not exactly like the original dish I so dearly love, I’m happy to report that this recipe hits the spot when I’m craving a bit of home. Not only that, but it’s also a fairly easy one-pot meal to make in a hurry which is great if you are a busy mom like me.

Nice recipe
I made this tonight and it was fantastic! Very easy to follow the recipe, and my family loved it. I eat Keto, and was able to simple switch out the rice for riced cauliflower. Either way was a hit! Thanks.
