Arroz Con Pollo

(this recipe is a tweaked version of my mother in laws amazing recipe)

Ingredients:

1 tbsp coconut/olive/canola oil

1 finely diced white onion

1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs (can also be breasts or tenders) diced

1 cup brown rice (can also use white)

2 cups water

1 packet Goya Sazon con azafran seasoning

12 oz package mixed vegetables

½ jar green olives with juice

½ jar Spanish capers with juice

Directions:

Sautee onions in the oil until they become translucent, add rice and stir for 2 minutes. Then add the diced chicken and seasoning packet and stir for two additional minutes then add water, cover, lower heat to medium and cook until the chicken is white. Then add the olives, capers, and mixed vegetables; stir and continue cooking for 10 minutes or until the rice is done.

*If you prefer your rice with a more risotto like texture, add an additional ¼ cup of water when you add the vegetables.
