*Kid Friendly* Make a head* Easy to prep*

*Prep Time: 5-10 min* Cook Total: 30-40 min

Today I have an easy recipe which is of course delicious. As always, you know I try to make it as easy as I can for both of us.

Arroz con pollo is a dish which originates from Spain and has made its way to the Caribbean cuisine, such as Puerto Rico. This dish dates back to the Eight Century when the Moors made their way into Spain. This dish’s ingredients have changed with time due to the different regions whom have made the dish a staple in their country and in their daily cuisine. Not only have the ingredients changed, with time this dish has had its name changed with every latin carribaen place it has touched. Places such as Dominican Republic have named it locrio de pollo. How interesting I may add.

These are just some intresting thoughts and research I wanted to share with you. As you know, I always enjoy reading and sharing a little history I learned about the ingredients we will be using for our recipes.
