Arroz Con Pollo (slow cooker style!)
Yes it’s Summer and I love to grill just like the next person but on those rainy days or busy weeknights I still reach for my crockpot! One of my favorite Spanish meals is arroz con pollo so this is a perfect dish to change things up in my household.
I started with tons of seasonings and instead of white rice I used quinoa and boneless skinless organic chicken breasts. I added frozen peas and you can always garnish with olives, fresh parsley or cilantro. I also used Wegmans organic frozen peppers and onions to really make it easy! It’s a perfect one pot/dish meal with tons of flavor!! A family staple in my household now!
