CHICKEN WITH RICE (ARROZ CON POLLO)

Steps:

• In a paella pan or wide, shallow pan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the Achiote Oil over medium-high heat until the oil is rippling. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add as many pieces skin side down to the pan as fit without touching. Cook, turning as necessary, until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the pieces as they are done and set aside. Adjust the heat under the pan, especially after you start removing chicken, so the chicken browns without the oil darkening.
• When all the chicken is removed from the pan, add the Sofrito and alcaparrado. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high and boil until most of the water is evaporated from the Sofrito. Add the cumin and cloves.
• Stir in the rice until coated with oil. Return the chicken to the pan, pour in enough broth to cover the rice by the width of 2 fingers (about 1-inch), and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until the level of liquid reaches the rice. Stir gently and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook until the liquid is absorbed, the chicken is cooked through, and the rice is tender but firm, about 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork. The arroz con pollo can be brought to the table right in the pan or transferred to a large serving platter. Either way, garnish with the red pepper before serving.
• Heat the oil and annatto seeds in a small skillet over medium heat just until the seeds give off a lively, steady sizzle. Don't overheat the mixture or the seeds will turn black and the oil will turn a nasty green. Once they're sizzling, remove the pan from the heat and let stand until the sizzling stops. Strain and reserve in a jar with a tight-fitting lid at room temperature for up to 4 days.
• Chop the onion and Cubanelle or Italian peppers in the work bowl of a food processor until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, add the remaining ingredients 1 at a time and process until smooth. The sofrito will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It also freezes beautifully.

INSTANT POT ARROZ CON POLLO (CHICKEN WITH RICE)

Steps:

• Add the oil and butter to the Instant Pot, hit "Sauté" and "Adjust" so it's on the "More" or "High" setting. Once the butter's melted, add in the saffron and allow it to sauté in the butter and oil for 30 seconds.
• Next, add in the onions and peppers and sauté for 3 minutes. Then, add the garlic and sauté for another minute
• Now, add in the chicken and chorizo and stir in the pot. Add in the paprika, cumin, parsley flakes and chili powder. Stir constantly for 3 minutes so the chicken sears and also making sure the spices don't stick to the bottom of the pot (we want it to be nice and clear)
• Add in the white wine and allow everything to simmer in it for a minute. Then, add in the broth, lime juice and can of diced tomatoes. Stir well and allow it to come to a bubble (make sure it does this, even if ever so slightly)
• Once bubbling, add in the rice but make sure you don't stir it in - just lightly submerge it under the broth with a mixing spoon
• Secure the lid in sealing mode, hit "Keep Warm/Cancel" and then hit "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" on High Pressure for 10 minutes. Quick release when done (NOTE: Because all pots seem to be calibrated slightly differently with different sensitivity levels, if for whatever reason you receive a "burn" message AFTER the pin has come up and the time begins to countdown, DO NOT FREAK OUT. Simply ignore it. It is only because there is a lot of volume in the pot with the rice mixed with everything else but there is also plenty of liquid as well. It will continue cooking, countdown won't be affected, and it will come out perfectly. If you receive a "burn" notice BEFORE the pin pops up, simply remove the lid, go back to the "Sauté" setting adjust so it's on "More" or "High", place the lid on top in the venting position and allow it to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. It will be perfect this way too but it is unlikely this will happen)
• When the lid comes off, it may appear there is a lot of liquid left, but that's an illusion. Give everything a stir from the bottom up and the excess liquid will magically become a lush and velvety sauce for this astounding Arroz con Pollo. Let it set for about 5 minutes and the sauce will thicken significantly as it cools down a bit
