One of our favorites. A staple.

[@corrinadreamss]

I JUST made this for me and hubby for work lunch and let me tell you it is soooo good!!❤️ I did make 1 cup of rice instead of 3/4 cup and I also used regular long grain rice. You want to make sure it’s on a very low setting so it doesn’t burn! Thanks mama and Arnie!❤

[@lisainpalmdesert]

Yes, Enchiladas! ☺️

[@patrickloring6914]

Love your mom!

There’s no other LOVE than the love of a mother and her child/ren. PRICELESS video.

[@alecminnis]

You both need a food network show. Your knowledge and tips are helpful and the love you have for your mom is genuine and refreshing and she is funny and a sweetheart. Perfect for TV

[@Diego2thebay]

I feel like our rice is soooo underappreciated. My sister makes the BEST spanish rice ever and honesty it makes me want to cook things to eat with it.

[@Upsideround]

Love seeing Mom in the kitchen!

[@JustMe-cl4qc]

Arroz con pollo is on the menu tonight. Need something fast easy and tasty. We cook this at least 3x a month i have to make extra rice for my breakfast.. yummy

[@rubysanchez4839]

Blessings!!!! I hope and pray my son’s take on my recipes far after I’m gone. Just like I took after my grandmother’s recipes. I love watching you.❤️

[@christobaliancantu7112]

Dang. I keep forgetting to subscribe. Thank you and your family for these recipes. Reminds me of my mom. She passed away in January and this episode really touched me. Thank you again y Dios bendiga. 😊

[@luisarroyo9628]

I lost my mom 20 years ago man what I wouldn't give to cook one more time with my mom. you are a lucky man and I hope you two have tons of years together. I'm Puerto Rican and she reminds me a lot of my mom the only thing is my mom didn't speak a lick of English. love your videos and will be trying this Recipe.

[@ArnieTex]

Thank you.

[@garyburnett7378]

I’m originally from So. Cal. but moved to Florida. I’ve been here several years and have yet to find Mexican food like we had in Cali. So with your help, I’ve been making my own. Thank you for the great recipes and inspiration. Keep them coming.

[@JDDOWDY]

Absolutely awsome. From west Texas thank you for sharing your video. God bless.

[@ArnieTex]

Thank you.

[@arizonatim2331]

I have never toasted rice before , I am going to try it with some chichen. Thanks for a wonderful channel. Watch out for that spoon Arnie.

[@1grumppa]

Comfort food! Thanks for sharing your Moms recipes!

[@Damiansg85]

I use to love seeing my mom cook her arroz con pollo. Now that she’s gone I make it myself using her recipe and it tastes just the same.

[@Sniperboy5551]

She’s so sweet! I hope my mom sticks around for as long as yours has!

[@Mrbigmike311]

I have my own version too, I got inspired by the Asian culture where they add colour to their friend rice in vegetables! So I love to put peppers, Chili to add a pit of spice, cilantro and the smalls tomatoes sliced in half, (the tomate and cilantro at the end only) to give it that freshness to the food. I do it all the time and people love it!!!!

[@grillmaster07]

Man, I just found you some how!? I love making homemade salsa and rice like your mother and you do! I'm definitely going to try your stuff out! Have only seen the salsa video and the rice video as of now. I'm just a gringo from NC! Love to cook everything authentic! Especially any ethnic dishes! They are very inspiring inspiring for me! I love heat as well. I grow Pepper's every spring to make my dishes! Great job man so glad I came across you today! Why I have never pulled you up on a search is crazy!

[@marialvarado2056]

Wow! I tried this recipe and the flavor was amazing. No leftovers! Thank you for sharing.

[@ChuckMcGhee]

I love these videos with your mom in them, she is adorable. And the food looks incredible.

[@jasonvickers2265]

Looks delicious.

[@iriscavazos661]

Love the chemistry you guys have and her confidence….WOW!

[@Brightbear_mom584]

My husband made this last night and the smell brought me back to my childhood days at Abuela Rosales’ house. I personally did not eat it because I won’t eat meat for ethical and spiritual reasons, but it looked Ike my husband really enjoyed it. I am going to veganize this recipe for myself and use all the same methods except swap the chicken for garbanzo beans amd the chicken broth for Ocean’s Halo No-Chicken Broth. I will still use the mocajete (not sure the spelling is correct) to do my spices.

[@valerietalamantez5756]

Thank you for going in detail, you two look like you have an amazing relationship. Your mom’s food looks amazing.

[@Izzy-qv5eb]

I really dig how much respect you have for your mom

[@kurtisgarcia6965]

Looks so amazing mi abuela would always make it with chicken legs to keep the bone and that's how I've always made it never thought of the boneless chicken thighs so thank you again for another great vid.

[@garygarcia9487]

This is an awesome video of family making memories. Also it’s a meal to feed a big family

[@eliteempire280]

Hellz yeah, she's right, PICO WITH THIS DISH GOES HARD!!!!!

[@grillmaster07]

I got a my first molcajete 2 years ago. Lava rock, seasoned it with rice and garlic for many hours! Bet blender I ever purchased! You have it going on man!

[@michaeljap]

Thank you, simply this becomes my favorite dish.

[@sinepari9160]

I grew up in the 80's on rice-a-roni and chicken. You would fry/brown the rice just like this in oil and then add water and a little tomato paste. home cooking. Mama knows!

[@ChadAmI80]

I made this for dinner tonight. It was absolutely amazing!! Definitely going to have a permanent place in our recipe book. Everyone loved it.

[@joannpadilla6045]

Never tried this with jazzmine rice....

[@DODGERS-br8tf]

Mouth is literally watery omg 🤤🤤🤤🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@ArnieTex]

Thank you.

[@randysalvaje512]

Good stuff man 🤙

[@reelsk376]

Awesome video, thank you for sharing. I miss cooking with my mom. It was such a special time. We make it similarly except we brown the chicken thighs first, then remove them and toast the rice in the same pan. The rest is the same...maybe a pinch of saffron sneaks in once in a while.

[@joegonzales6816]

This is one of my favorite dishes of all time
