Recipe Summary Instant Pot&Reg; Puerto Rican Arroz Con Pollo

My family's recipe for arroz con pollo adapted for the Instant Pot®! Made completely in your Instant Pot® or multi-functional pressure cooker, this arroz con pollo is as easy as it is delicious!

Ingredients | Caldo De Pollo Con Arroz Recipe

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup salt pork, diced

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped

2 (1.41 ounce) packages sazon seasoning with achiote

1 cup sofrito

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

½ cup pimento-stuffed green olives

1 tablespoon capers

3 cups white rice, rinsed

1 (16 ounce) can gandules (green pigeon peas), undrained

¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil. Add salt pork pieces and stir until edges start to brown, about 2 minutes. Add chicken and sazon seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is white on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Add sofrito and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 more minutes. Pour in tomato sauce, olives, and capers. Stir to combine and cook until bubbly and all flavors are incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add rice and mix well. Turn off Saute function.

Drain liquid from the can of gandules into a large measuring cup. Add enough water to make 2 1/2 cups of liquid. Add gandules and liquid to the pot and stir well. Season with salt and pepper.

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 17 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.

You can use jarred sofrito sauce or freshly made with onion, garlic, bell pepper, cilantro, and oregano pureed in a food processor.

Bacon can be used instead of salt pork.
