Instructions
- Start by patting dry chicken. Then, in a small bowl, combine oil, Sazon, adobo, salt, and oregano.
- Pour the oil mixture over the chicken and mix it in.
- In a large skillet, add oil and sear the chicken on high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté the onion, minced garlic and sofrito until softened. Add in tomato sauce, gandules, Sazon, salt, oregano, and water. Mix in rinsed rice.
- Cook rice on high for 5-10 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed.
- Add the seared chicken on top of the rice and continue to cook the rice covered on low heat for another 20 minutes.
- Garnish with cilantro and limes.
Notes
- Note- Depending on the size of your chicken thighs, your chicken may cook faster than your rice, in this case, remove the chicken thighs and cook them a bit longer in the oven!
