I am a huge fan of Spanish cuisine. It’s very straightforward, simple and fresh. Olive oil, olives, peppers, saffron. What’s better than that? the aromas coming from your kitchen will bring everybody to the table, including your neighbors.

It’s great to try out different regions and cuisines because you’re teaching your kids about new cultures and also educate their palates to new flavors.

 Here’s how the  One Pot Spanish Chicken And Rice is made:

We start by browning the seasoned chicken on both sides. Since this recipe is braised, first we brown, then we add the liquid. After the chicken is browned, we remove it from the pan and set it aside.  The excess fat is discarded leaving just a tablespoon of olive oil on the pan.

 The onions, peppers, and garlic are cooked in the same skillet until they become tender. Then we add the olive and let it cook for a minute. Now we add the rice and mix.

Now we add the stock, water, and saffron. We mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.

Next, we add the chicken back in the pan, lower the heat and cover for 25 minutes. Voila! You’re done.

Doesn’t that look beautiful? Just serve the pot right on the table and let your family and friends dig in. The chicken turns out moist, the rice flavorful and the olives just make this dish pop!

You can also squeeze in some lemon juice on the whole dish if you’d like. Since my daughters are not huge citric fans I just added some chopped parsley.

I hope you make this delicious  One-Pot Spanish Chicken And Rice at home. If you do, please upload a picture on Instagram using the #LivingSweet hashtag or by tagging @Livingsweetmoments. I promise to repost it!
