Caribbean Chicken and Rice

Caribbean Chicken and Rice – - Recipe

Caribbean Chicken and Rice, also named 'Arroz con Pollo' is one of the first recipes I learned next to my grandpa growing up. This recipe is all over the Latino culture and heritage, coming from the mother land, Spain. I think this recipe is simple to prepare.  The Knorr Ultimate Chicken Base serves as the perfect seasoning for this dish. It enhances the flavor while keeping it very practical.
