Arroz con pollo

After roasting beer chicken on the grill, there was still chicken left over. Thinking to my self what can be made with this remaining chicken meat? Why not make Arroz con pollo a wonderful Latin American classic. The recipe will take a little time to make, but it’s wonderfully good. I didn’t have sour oranges using a combination of fresh lemon and orange juice balanced with small amount of sugar as a substitute. This dish has only a Chef Dave’s rating of 1 heat level, so it’s very mild. If you what a hotter version, just add more chilies of your choice to the rice dish.
