Paleo Arroz con Pollo (Chicken and Rice)
A paleo-friendly take on the classic Colombian dish, using cauliflower rice and plenty of vegetables for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- about 680 g Chicken Thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 4 cups Cauliflower Rice
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 medium Bell Pepper (red or yellow)
- 2 medium Carrots
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place a 30.48 cm skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (190°C/375°F). Add the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 medium bell pepper (chopped), and 2 medium carrots (chopped). Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- 2Add the 3 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon of turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 3Add the about 680 g of chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned on all sides. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this stage.
- 4Stir in the 2 tablespoons of tomato paste until it coats the chicken and vegetables. Pour in the 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low (150°C/300°F). Cover the skillet and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.
- 5Uncover the skillet and stir in the 4 cups of cauliflower rice, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Cover the skillet again and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower rice is tender.
- 6Serve the Paleo Arroz con Pollo hot.
