My grandma makes this and my mom did and we’re Mexican (my grandma lived with a Cuban woman for a while and taught her the recipe) and she’d put beer in it while it was cooking and it’s amazing one of my favorite foods ever
Thank you for making this video! Growing up, my neighbor was Cuban and made this for me. 30 years later, I was craving it but couldn’t find anywhere that makes it here in Chicago. Made your recipe and it’s exactly as I remember it as a child. Thank you!
Partly why it was hard to find is because much of the Cuban community moved back to south Florida due to the tough winters in Chicago, so only the truly die hard remained. Additionally, Cuban restaurants didn't promote their unique cuisine well enough to sustain the business. Standing out in a hugely competitive retail food service market is one key to survival.
Really excited to make this. I crave it all the time, but I live in a small town now where there isn't any real authentic Cuban style food. I was born and raised ten years in Miami, and I miss the Cuban style food so much, so hopefully I will do a good job with this recipe tonight. Thank you for uploading this video. 😁
Olives are used in Puerto Rican arroz conPollo, not typically in Cuban arroz con pollo. Mind you I love olives and love Puerto Rican arroz con pollo. Also, Cubans use beer instead of water in arroz con pollo with red roasted pepper slices and peas on top of our finished dish as garnish.....and serve.
Los puertorriqueños precocemos el pollo en un poco de aceite y ajo y procuramos que no se dore demasiado. No lo cocinamos completamente porque puede secarse si se cocina demasiado. Luego añadimos nuestro sofrito y lo cocinamos un rato con el pollo etc.
@@marlenea2020 So the celery isn’t an ingredient which is used in this traditional dish? I thought it was a unique ingredient used . However, I am sure Cubans use celery in other dishes like stews. 🤔
@@Orlanzepol123 Hi Orlando, my mom use to make with celery. I personally love it with the celery. If you don't like celery, don't add it. It still going to take great. thank you for watching!!
You can add green olives if you like but be careful with the salt since olives tend to be a little salty. I personally don't add olives to it. Thank you for watching!
Hi Julia, cook for about 15 minutes on medium heat once the main ingredients are in, (the chicken and the rice). You want to make sure the chicken is completely cooked and the rice is tender. Try not to stir it once you have added the rice, until the end that you add the peas and the beer. Hope this was helpful, thank you so much for watching!!!
Hola me parece k a su vez k hablas en inglés debes de traducirlo con letras al español Otra cosa es obligatorio echarle cilantro no me gusta su sabor.me gustó me super me encantó como te kedo Gracias
Hola Miriam, gracia por tu sugerencia, lo tomare en cuenta. El cilantro es a gusto del consumidor, a muchas persona no les gusta ese sabor. Gracias por visitar mi canal!
Big thumbs up. Great video. God's blessings your way...
Thank you so much God's blessings to you too!!!
I love Cuban food
My grandma makes this and my mom did and we’re Mexican (my grandma lived with a Cuban woman for a while and taught her the recipe) and she’d put beer in it while it was cooking and it’s amazing one of my favorite foods ever
The taste of the beer really makes this dish amazing.
Thanks for the recipe

Yes you can put olives if you've like. It's a matter of taste. Thank you for your comment.
I tried it. It's super 👌 👍 💯
I'm of Mexican descent so of course we make ours a bit different , I love to try different variations of arroz con pollo. Can't wait to try this one
You guys use boneless chicken
El pollo se pre-cocina primero antes de hechar el arroz.
Los puertorriqueños precocemos el pollo en un poco de aceite y ajo y procuramos que no se dore demasiado. No lo cocinamos completamente porque puede secarse si se cocina demasiado. Luego añadimos nuestro sofrito y lo cocinamos un rato con el pollo etc.
Yo siempre he visto que el pollo se cocina primero
Me quedo exquisito. Thank you
Thank you, for watching! Gracias por ver mi canal, me alegro mucho que le alla gustado!
Sorry but celery is not an ingredient used in this plate, I am Cuban and never heard of it used
You're absolutely right, I never saw any one cooking with celery in Cuba. But, I add it to my "Arroz Con Pollo". Thank you for watching!

Yo tampoco
Hay que rico!
Un millón de gracias por su vídeo.
Mil gracias a ti Julio por tu apoyo.
first i sear the chicken & remove. next add the veggies & sautee. then put chicken back in.
Thank you for your suggestion, I might do that the next time I make. Thank you for watching!
Yo también y nada de celery
Not soupy. No celery. It’s like a paella - dry. My mom made it great (and also my wife).
El pollo se fríe primero.
Hola Maris, yo no frio el mio, y queda delicioso!
Yo soy cubana y yo sofrío el pollo primero, además le quito el pellejo.
Hola Julia, y estoy segura que le queda riquisimo como el mio. Hay muchas formas de hacer este plato. Gracias por visitar mi canal!
Interesting Sofrito ingredients. I might try this recipe.
Yes, please try it and let me know what you think. Thank you for watching!!
My dad raised and teached me how to cook this dish. I use goya seasoning
Hi David, I buy the goya seasoning some times too, they're both good. Thank you for watching!
Great video thanks 👍👍
Thank YOU, for watching!
Looks good!

Cumin and complete seasoning. Thank you for watching!
Thnk u
Thank you!
I thought there is green olives in this dish?
You can add green olives if you like but be careful with the salt since olives tend to be a little salty. I personally don't add olives to it. Thank you for watching!
you forgot to add the salt in your video?? please??
No I did not forget the salt. It starts in section 10:56 of the video. Thank you for watching.
Hi, How long did it cook?
Hi Julia, cook for about 15 minutes on medium heat once the main ingredients are in, (the chicken and the rice). You want to make sure the chicken is completely cooked and the rice is tender. Try not to stir it once you have added the rice, until the end that you add the peas and the beer. Hope this was helpful, thank you so much for watching!!!
Hi Julia, it cooks for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is tender and the rice is cooked. Thank you for visiting my channel!
