Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups long grain rice

2 - 3 lbs lightly seasoned chicken (chicken sections, deboned)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 chicken bouillon

1/4 tsp oregano flakes

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 bay leaf

1 tsp salt

About 3 cups of water (NOTE 🚨- If this doesn’t seem like enough water for 3.5 cups of long grain rice, remember, the chicken will continue to release moisture as the rice cooks! Therefore, adding less water for this specific rice dish will help prevent a mushy arroz con pollo!)
