Spanish Chicken & Rice

Learned it from a friend 'Fatima Bassa' years ago. Very easy to prepare and it's a quick 1 pot meal. My kids love it very much......



  • Season chicken pieces(skinless) with soy sauce, chopped garlic & some lime juice.
  • Boil water with olive oil, 1 maggi chicken cube and a bit of salt. (Equal cups of rice and water:-How many cups of rice you need, that much of water you will need to boil.)
  1. Heat olive oil in a pot, saute chicken pieces, until cooked.
  2. Add 1 large chopped onion and chopped ham (optional), some carrots and 2 tomatoes cubes.(I use 1 can chopped tomatoes). (can add in cilantro & green bell-pepper -optional).
  3. Stir well, add 1 package of sazon; or salt and pepper and a bit of sugar if can't find sazon.
  4. Once the tomatoes resolve, throw in some chopped spinach and some cilantro.
  5. Then add in rice. Stir to coat well. Add in the boiled water you boil earlier.
  6. Don't cover, medium low fire cooked till water dry. Stir to mix, cover. Off fire. Serve.
  7. I strongly suggest non-stick pot.!! :)
