Peruvian-Style Chicken with Rice

Ingredients 0/11

Step 1

Gently heat some vegetable oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook it in the hot oil until it’s nicely browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Once browned, take the chicken out and set it aside, but leave the drippings in the pot.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot and sauté them in the drippings until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take around 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, season with a bit more salt and pepper, and cook everything together for another couple of minutes.

Step 3

Now, put the chicken back into the pot along with the rice, water, beer, carrot, and peas. Cover the pot with a lid, turn the heat down to low, and let it simmer gently until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is tender, about 20 minutes. Once done, give everything a good stir and it’s ready to enjoy!
