So good even the baby loves it!! The serving size may be a little off, i just went by the rice package.. 3 cups rice makes 12 servings but it probably made about 10 (we make big plates lol)

Steps

1 hour

1

Season thawed chicken thighs with adobo seasoning and black pepper-- you can use any type of chicken you like
2

Heat oil in medium to large pot - you will use this same pot to cook everything
3

Brown chicken in oil, about 5-7 minutes each side. Once browned on both sides set aside chicken (do not drain oil off chicken)
4

In pot add capers to heated oil , i add the capers first so the flavors just burst!
5

Add sofrito, tomato sauce, sazon and olives (i love the green olives with the pimento, i add about 2 tbsp)... Let sauce heat up about 2 minutes, stir frequently
6

Once sauce is heated and mixed together add rice ( any rice will do, i use mahatma jasmine rice) and add water
7

Stir once--- you do not want to stir the rice too much as it will become soggy rice
8

Bring to a boil , boil about 5 minutes.. Reduce heat and let simmer until water is absorbed-- while the rice is cooking i like to shred up the chicken, for this particular meal i just cut it into small slices
9

You can add the chicken anytime , i like to add mine when the rice is almost done just because it makes for easier cooking time for the rice...

Remove from heat and enjoy!!!
