Instructions
In a bowl, combine diced chicken breast with 1 tbsp sofrito, ½ tsp sazon, ½ tsp adobo, oregano, allspice, ¼ tsp salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot. (If the chicken has left a crusty residue at the bottom of the pot, clean it before next step.) Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in the pot and add the remaining 1 tbsp sofrito, green bell pepper, yellow onion, garlic, spring onion, and tomato paste. Saute until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in basmati rice and cook for 1 minute to lightly toast the rice, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Season with the remaining ¼ tsp sazon, ¼ tsp adobo, and ¼ tsp salt. Add water, cilantro, the remaining ¼ tsp sazon, ¼ tsp adobo, and ¼ tsp salt. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes covered, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and remove the pot from heat. Let it sit, covered, for an another 15 minutes. Fluff before serving. Buen provecho!View original recipe
