There are many of us who take advantage of the weekend to cook rice. And I, at least, always take care of adding a few more handfuls to the casserole to have food ready for Monday. This is what I have done when preparing this rice with chicken and carrot that I share today.
It is one of the rice dishes that I like the most. A classic that I never get tired of and that is also easy to version by incorporating different vegetables into the base. In this case to fried onion and pepper I added a significant amount of carrot, because for me the combination of this vegetable with chicken I always find it works.
Another important ingredient of this chicken is saffron which together with the paprika and concentrated tomato add flavor to the broth. Will you dare to prepare it? Below you have a simple step by step to bring this recipe to fruition.
