Steps

45 mins

1

Cut the chicken in medium chunks (leave wings for another meal), and season with adobo or salt and pepper to taste. *Boneless chicken breast is fine.
2

Cook the chicken in a little olive oil or butter on medium to low heat.
3

Once chicken is cooked, remove from pan and add sofrito and onions. (add more oil if needed). On medium heat cook until onions are translucent.
4

Add tomato sauce, olives, red pepper, cumin, chicken bouillon, sazon, corn and bay leaf. Cook covered for 5 minutes.
5

Add chicken, rice, water, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Cook uncovered until most of the water evaporates. ( About 10-15 minutes depending on your stove)
6

Once water evaporates, stir from the bottom up ONLY 2-3 times. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes.
7

After 20 minutes, stir from the bottom up and rice should be nice and fluffy. If still uncooked cover again and cook for 10 minutes at a time.
