Arroz con pollo, or rice with chicken, is a Colombian gastronomic classic. Not only because there are no two ingredients that go together better than chicken and rice, but also because Latin chicken and rice is an easy , tasty recipe that yields many portions. This dish is often synonymous with having guests over, creating a family reunion and sharing stories alongside authentic Colombia flavor. Many say the seceret to a successful Columbian chicken and rice recipe is the time you put into it. But we believe the most important ingredient is the love that gets poured in with every step.
