Instructions to make (Somewhat Deconstructed) Arroz con Pollo:

1. Season chicken with the 2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and then dust with 2 Tablespoons of flour. Then, in a 4 to 5 quart pot, bring 1 Tablespoon oil up to medium high heat, then brown chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side and set aside. You'll probably want to break this up into two batches so you don't crowd your cooking surface..
2. If you used skin-on chicken, you'll have a bit of rendered chicken fat left in your pot. Remove all but about 1 Tablespoon and add your onion, pepper, and garlic and sweat the mixture until the onions are translucent. (This Holy Trinity base of Latin cooking is called refrito or sofrito, depending on the region) If you didn't use skin on, you'll want to add up to another (1) Tablespoon of oil to the pot..
3. Add your sazon packet and mix it in..
4. Add tomatoes, stock, and bay leaf and give it a couple of good stirs..
5. Add in your chicken, turn the heat down to medium, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, and ensuring that the heat doesn't get so hot that the chicken is boiling or the sauce is burning on the bottom of the pan. You can check for that by scraping the cooking surface with your cooking spoon and seeing if you get any solids accumulating.) During this first part of the simmer, you'll want to start the knifework for your Garlic Yellow Rice. (Link to that recipe is above.).
6. After 20 minutes, flip the chicken pieces, turn the heat down to medium low, and simmer, covered, for another 20 minutes or so. About 10 minutes into this second simmer, you'll want to adjust seasoning if needed. At this point, you'll be able to move on to the cooking part of the Garlic Yellow Rice..
7. After the second simmer, stir in your peas, then cut the heat..
8. Once the rice is done, plate the rice, topped with a piece or two of chicken and a healthy drizzle of the sauce..
9. If you made the quickled onions to go with, put a little of those on top and garnish with a bit of chopped cilantro if you like. Enjoy! :).
