ARROZ CON POLLO (Spanish Dish) 
2-3 c. diced chicken (1 whole chicken)
2 c. tomato sauce
1 lg. onion
1 1/2 c. rice
Chicken bouillon cubes (optional)
2 c. chicken broth
1 lg. green pepper
1 sm. can mushrooms
Stuffed olives (optional)

Saute green pepper and onion, about 3-4 minutes, in a little oil in large skillet or large saucepan. Add chicken broth, tomato sauce, bouillon cubes; bring to bubbling. Add rice, lower to simmering. Simmer about 20 minutes or until rice is done. Add chicken and mushrooms. Garnish with sliced stuffed olives.

Tips: When adding rice, spread evenly over entire cooking surface of pan. Do not stir at all as you would soup. This makes rice gummy. Only stir after about 10 minutes of cooking by inserting spoon in one spot and moving spoon back and forth gently. After rice is cooked, you may stir, toss, etc., as you add chicken and mushrooms. If it begins to look too dry, you may add more sauce. Good Spanish Rice always has a crusty layer on bottom of pan.

 Jay Whaley (North Carolina) says:
This recipe was easy and quick. Stuff was cheap at the store too. There was no directions on proper cooking of the chicken or mushrooms ((Since I don't like boiled or raw Shrooms)) I started cooking Mushrooms with the onions and peppers and then grilled cooked the chicken. My wife also likes it when I boil cook the chicken so that is also worth a try.
Thank you again for such a nice quick meal!
