Ingredients
- 300 g chicken
- 300 g cauliflower rice
- 1 pinch saffron
- 2 pieces pepper
- 50 g olives
- 50 g capers
Method
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken pieces for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown, then set aside.
- Add the pepper, cut into strips, to the same skillet and cook for 3 minutes until softened, building the sofrito base of the dish.
- Dissolve the saffron in a tablespoon of warm water and pour it into the skillet, stirring to coat the peppers evenly with the aromatic golden liquid.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestle it among the peppers, and cook everything together over medium heat for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring it into the saffron-infused mixture, and cook for 6 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
- Fold in the olives and capers during the final 2 minutes of cooking, allowing their briny flavors to meld into the dish.
- Serve the arroz con pollo hot, ensuring each portion of cauliflower rice is topped with chicken, olives, and capers.
