Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season chicken with adobo. Heat oil in a caldero, or large heavy pot, over medium heat. Cook chicken in batches until brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes; set aside.
Step 2
Stir onion, peppers, and garlic into the pot; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add rice, bouillon, and Sazón to pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until rice is completely coated in oil mixture, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Stir in 3 cups water; bring to a boil. Add alcaparrado and chicken (skin-side up) to the pot. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer until water is absorbed, rice is tender, and chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
Step 4
Fluff rice using a fork and garnish with pimiento strips and peas to serve.
