#AbuelasArrozConPollo

Hey guys I'm back and ready to teach you all how to eat! Well if you're ready to eat you must be ready to cook! Todays recipe is called "Arroz con Pollo" (yellow rice with chicken). Arroz con Pollo is a traditional dish for latin America. The Arroz con Pollo is very similar looking as a paella. Many hispanics debate where with delicious dish originates from. The largest debate is between spain and Dominican Republic. So we will never know. Dominicans call this deliciousness "Cocrio de Pollo". The most exciting part about making this Arroz con Pollo is that every culture can put their own Sazon (seasoning) to make their own taste like home. Honestly no one has yet to beat my Abuela's Arroz con Pollo.
