How to make Yellow Rice with Chicken:
- The first step to prepare this yellow rice with chicken is to make the rehash: for this we cut the onion, the pepper and the tomatoes into squares, finely chopped. Then we put them in the pan with a little hot oil and let them begin to poach.
- Once the yellow rice vegetables are poached, we take them and pass them through the blender, add a small glass of water and once everything is well mixed, pour it into the paella pan.
- Once we have refried the yellow rice in the paella pan, add the chicken pieces and let it cook well.
- Next, add the paprika, saffron and a little salt and stir well the refried chicken with yellow rice so that it takes on color and flavor.
- Next, add the glasses of rice and the 4 glasses of water, and let it boil for about 20 minutes until the rice is cooked, putting it over low heat.
- Once the yellow rice with chicken is cooked, we can serve it accompanied by some green plantain chips and a green salad, for example.
