The BEST Instant Pot Chicken and Rice | Authentic Cuban Arroz con Pollo | Easy Quick and Cheap

[@erinrodriguez2669]

FINALLY learning how to make Cuban dishes! I’ve mastered a couple, but made your black beans and now going to make this! Thank you for showing me how!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

You are so very welcome! That makes me so happy, when people make Cuban food and love it. If you ever have any questions, you can pm me any time!

[@jeremyspeciale5895]

Where did you get that r2d2 skin?

[@andrealinder86]

Dear Lana, thank you for this recipe. My mother was Cuban and was an amazing cook but she never taught me her ways, because she started developing dementia when I was young. I married a Mexican and learned to cook it a different way but it’s not the same as my mom’s. This is the closest recipe I have found so far and made me cry when I tried it. My mommy passed away last year, but eating this arroz con pollo makes me feel better and that way my daughters who didn’t get to know my mom can enjoy the taste of their Cuban heritage.

[@EstrafaDC]

Wow. Wow. Wow. I too lost my Cuban mother last year and she too struggled with dementia toward the end. I was going to leave a similar message too. Have not tried this recipe yet but I know it will bring her to mind and heart. Thank you Lana for posting this. All best.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Omg I'm sending you a virtual hug. I started doing these recipes for this exact reason. I'm so glad you like it and you really made my whole day. ❤️

[@EstrafaDC]

@@LanaUnderPressure Thank you for replying because it gave me the opportunity to report back that I've now made this dish and it is FANTASTIC!! Makes me think of my Mamá every time and my non-Cuban husband loves it too!! Also have been making it with your Frijoles Negros Instant Pot recipe! Thanks so much! ALSO thank you for that recipe for a DIY Sazón -- I've sworn off Goya for the owner's really heinous politics, and appreciated the broken down ingredients!

[@gache52]

Niña! Gracias por esta receta! Mi instapot es un mini así que yo hago la mitad de tu receta. Excelente! Pregunta, en vez de hacer el sofrito, se podrá usar sofrito puertoriqueño?

[@hiramabiff885]

Lana, I grew up in Miami, a ten minute bike ride from Calle Ocho. I moved to Atlanta in 1982 and my trips to Miami ended more than a decade ago because all my remaining family had passed. I had some dear Jewban friends, as one of my best friends married their daughter and I had many opportunities to learn to cook Cuban. Somehow I never tried to make arroz con pollo. My small family now live on top of a mountain in rural Georgia and although we have tons of Mexican food here, Cuban food is at least two hours away in Atlanta. My wife has tried it several times and only likes my picadillo and slow-cooked frijoles negros. Yesterday I spent several hours making sure I followed your recipe, substituting real saffron for the Bijol and used chicken broth. The only beer I had was Guinness and I worried it would not work. It did perfectly. I wanted to make sure my version was Kosher so I added two links of sweet Italian sausage to the recipe. My wife kept coming into the kitchen and asked me what I was making. I said, "chicken and rice." She started nooging me, asking "Is it Mexican? "Well yes," I said, "But it could be Spanish, Puerto Rican, Cuban etc." She turned up her nose and asked me what it was called. I replied, "Majon con pelo." She is from South Carolina and English is not her first language, so when I said that she stormed off to the bedroom to watch TV, having no clue what I said and I spent the next two hours giggling as I made dinner. She took one bite and went back for thirds. I am trying your frijole negros recipe next. Thank you! P.S. Would love your twist on Croquetas de Jamon!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Hahahahaha, that was too funny! I am glad she liked it though, or you would of really been in trouble. My dad lived in Marrietta, GA for a bit and he used to tell me how frustrating it was trying to find good Cuban food. We've lived all over AR, VA, AZ, MI, FL, and NY so I can totally relate to your frustration. Honestly, I have not found that the air fryer oven does a great job on croquettas, fresh or frozen. I just really prefer them in a pan or deep fried. I do have a great recipe for them from scratch though. If you look me up on Facebook and PM me I can send you a picture.

You are so welcome and I'm always so honored when someone tries (and likes) my recipes. That sound like a delicious twist on it. Please come back and tell me how it turned out!😁

[@ZdenekHadascok]

@@LanaUnderPressure First batch wasn't a success because I was getting the dreaded "food burn" message. And I did scrape thoroughly exactly like you showed us. I don't know what I was doing wrong, but the meat didn't get done to my liking because of that. So I made a second batch. All the same ingredients, but I cooked the meat first for 10 minutes on max (I've got the "Max" version) and then put the rice in on top of it and turned the pot on "rice". It came out beyond expectations! My wife absolutely loved it, which is always the greatest praise ;)

[@LanaUnderPressure]

@@ZdenekHadascok That's fantastic! My arroz con pollo recipe took me 7 tries to get it right. Rice is one of the hardest things to cook in the IP but once you get it, it's amazing. It sounds like since beef cooks longer than chicken, it needed that extra time. That was brilliant idea to cook the meat a bit first. Bravo!

Very authentic! I'm Cuban so I know! BUT, if you use a rice cooker cup, and want normal rice texture, reduce liquid by 1/2 cup total. Or add 2 - 3 more ounces of rice. Otherwise it comes out "asopado" (soupy). Some people love it either way. Great taste!

What if I don't have a rice cup? What is the measurement then?

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Greta question. A rice cup is a little more than 3/4 cup. It's exactly 180 ml and a standard cup is 240.

[@rosaliemcafee1136]

Plastic cup that comes with instant pot u use only for rice and fill to the top? Right

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Yes, correct. It's a rice cup so it's less than a cup.

I love that picture of the dog with the big lengua de afuera and the arroz

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Haha, that's Crazy Mae. She photobombs alot of my food pictures. And that tongue never stays in her mouth, lol.

WHY NOT PARBOLIED RICE?? I ALWAYS USE THAT!! I'M SOOO CONFUSED NOW!!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

I just don't like the taste of parboiled rice and also with a pressure cooker, the times for rice are very different. You can use parboiled but then you might have to adjust the time, which I have not done. The thing with recipes for the electric pressure cookers is that each recipe is specific for that ingredient.

Porque no encuentro una receta que no salga masacotuda o sea pegajosa y no arroz graneado?

What if you want to leave the bone in the chicken?

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Hi. The problem with that is then your pieces will be bigger, take more time to cook and the rice would then be over cooked. Traditional way on the stove you do leave the bone in, but that's hard to do when converting.
