Arroz con Pollo is a classic Cuban dish that combines succulent chicken thighs with fluffy rice, sweet bell peppers, and savory spices. The chicken is first seared to lock in the juices, then simmered in a flavorful tomato sauce until tender and juicy. The rice is cooked in the same pot, absorbing all the delicious flavors of the chicken and vegetables, resulting in a hearty and satisfying one-pot meal.
