Ingredients

• 2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into large chunks
• 3 tbsp sofrito
• 1 packet Sazón con culantro y achiote (~5g)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
• 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp green olives with brine
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (to finish)
• 5 cups cooked white rice (~2.5 cups dry)

Instructions

1. Season chicken with the Sazón packet, salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, and paprika. Let sit 15 minutes while you prep vegetables.
2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Sear chicken in batches until browned, ~3 min per side. Remove and set aside.
3. Lower heat to medium. Add onion, bell peppers, and garlic; cook until softened, ~5 min. Stir in sofrito and tomato paste, cooking 1–2 min until fragrant.
4. Add tomato sauce, chicken broth, carrots, bay leaves, and olives. Bring to a simmer.
5. Return chicken and any juices to the pot. Cover and simmer on low for 30–35 min, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender and sauce has thickened.
6. Remove bay leaves. Shred or leave chicken in chunks as preferred. Taste and adjust salt.
7. While the stew simmers, cook rice. Finish stew with cilantro. Portion 1 cup rice and ~1.5 cups stew into each of 5 containers.
