Arroz Con Pollo
- 4 c. rice
- 2 1/2 qt. broth (chicken)
- 2 Tbsp. oil
- 1 head garlic, crushed
- 2 large onions, diced
- 2 Tbsp. oregano, crushed
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 2 green bell peppers, diced

- Stir and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove skin from chicken pieces.
- Put chicken into the spicy sauce mixture and stir over medium heat for 10 minutes.

- Allow to cook undisturbed for 15 minutes, until the broth is dried.
- When the broth has been absorbed, stir the rice.
