Ingredients

  • 1. Begin by drizzling a tablespoon of vegetable oil into the cooking pan.
  • 2. Add in five pieces of chicken without the skin, seasoned with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of ground black pepper to your liking.
  • 3. Toss in a large onion, finely diced, along with two cloves of minced garlic for a flavor boost.
  • 4. Sprinkle in a generous cup of freshly chopped cilantro to infuse the dish with vibrant herbal notes.
  • 5. Pour in three cups of white rice and two cups of water to start the base of your flavorful creation.
  • 6. Crack open a can of beer, around 12 fluid ounces, to add a unique depth of taste to the dish.
  • 7. Introduce diced carrots and a cup of green peas for a colorful and nutritious touch to the mixture.

Step 1

Warm up the vegetable oil in a sturdy pot with a cover over medium heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken; sizzle in the hot oil until it gets a nice golden hue, flipping after around 2 minutes. Gently relocate the chicken to a serving dish, keeping the flavorful drippings in the pot.

Step 2

Sizzle the onion and garlic in the pot's essence until the onion turns see-through, roughly for 5 minutes. Toss in some cilantro into the onion blend; season with salt and pepper. Let it all cook and meld together for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 3

Bring the chicken back to the pot; introduce rice, water, beer, carrot, and peas. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and let it gently simmer until the rice drinks up all the liquid and softens completely, which should take about 20 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize clear glass containers to store prepped ingredients like chopped onions, bell peppers, and garlic. This not only keeps them fresh but also adds a pop of color to your kitchen shelves.
  2. 2. Invest in a set of stackable storage jars for different types of rice, beans, and spices. Label them with cute, colorful tags to make your pantry organization a breeze.
