Ingredients

1 hour
12 servings
  1. 8 ozTomato sauce
  2. 1 cupOr 6 oz Sofrito
  3. 1 envelopeSazon
  4. 1as needed Adobo seasoning
  5. 1as needed Black pepper
  6. 2 tbspCapers
  7. 2 tbspVegetable oil
  8. 1as needed Seedless olives
  9. 3 cupRice
  10. 4 cupWater
  11. 1 packagesBoneless skinless chicken thighs

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 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. 4

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

  5. 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. 6

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

  7. 7

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

  8. 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. 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...

  10. 10

    Remove from heat and enjoy!!!
