Portuguese Chicken And Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Saute onions, garlic, salt, pepper and brown sugar in oil, till softened and beginning to brown in color. Add Chicken pieces, cook till almost done. Add broth, water, tomatoes and rice; cook till almost all liquid is absorbed. Stir in crushed red pepper and cook 2 more minutes.

Steps:

• In a 4-quart medium saucepan heat the oil over high heat until hot. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, red pepper, and bay leaf and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the water, parsley and cilantro and bring to a boil. Add the rice and stir well. When the liquid returns to a boil, stir again, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook the rice undisturbed for 20 minutes, or until the liquid is dissolved and the rice is tender.
• Let rice stand for 5 minutes undisturbed before fluffing with a fork. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Put chicken in pan and cover with water (or chicken broth if you prefer), then add all remaining ingredients except the rice. Bring to boil, then simmer until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from cooking liquid and add rice( If it looks as though you have too much liquid, remove some and set aside--add to rice if needed later). When rice is cooked, return chicken to pan and toss with cooked rice. Most of the cooking liquid should be absorbed. Serve with tossed salad.
