Today is a bonus day! 2 recipes in one post. The perfect menu for a quick weeknight dinner that will leave you with delicious leftovers the next day. So toss that boring old chicken dinner and let’s get exotic with this Latin staple.

I grew up in Venezuela and Arroz con Pollo was always on the menu. Easy, delicious and it can feed a crowd. The rice and chicken are super flavorful when made with veggies and saffron. The latter one is responsible for the beautiful yellow color and subtle flavor.

Make a big pot of this easy Arroz con Pollo and your whole family will come to the table in seconds. I love to make it since it’s a one-pot meal that can be easily customizable depending on the veggies you have on hand.

Some people make it with bone-in chicken pieces, but I love using chicken breast, that way you don’t have to fish out the bones while eating.

I love serving this easy Arroz Con Pollo with a creamy Dill Cucumber Tomato Salad:

My grandmother, who is originally from Romania, uses dill in almost every savory dish. The aroma just reminds me of her and that’s the inspiration behind this easy salad.

My 5-year-old is obsessed lately with cherry tomatoes, she’s always walking around with a pint of tomatoes in her hand. You can imagine how many of these guys I have to buy weekly.

When I’m lucky and there are a few ones left, I add them to this yummy salad. The great thing about this recipe is that you can make it in advance and leave it in the fridge when ready to use. The lack of lettuce and greens makes it more resistant to time and sogginess.

I love making extra so my husband can take it to work the next day. The dressing is composed of only 5 ingredients and everything comes together in 5 minutes or less.

 

I hope you can try this delicious and easy Arroz Con Pollo with Creamy Dill Cucumber Salad at home and in the office. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
