Steps:
- If the chicken seems "wet" pat it dry with a paper towel and then sprinkle with the adobo seasoning and rub it in all over.
- Heat oil in a large dutch oven or non stick large deep skillet with tight fitting lid over medium heat. Add diced chicken breast and cook on one side for about 3 minutes and then turn and continue to cook for a few minutes.
- When the chicken is cooked and browned add in the package of rice, crushed up tomato bouillon, and water. Stir and bring to a boil for one minute. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and let cook for at least 20 minutes before checking the rice for doneness. It should be done between 20-25 minutes.
- When rice is cooked add in queso and milk then fluff all together with fork. Serve warm!*see notes about rice cooking*
EL POLLO LOCO CHICKEN/RICE BOWL
I'm crazier about black beans than pintos so I think I'd change that out. And the Serrano chile, I think I'd sub a jalapeno for that. Oh, to the rice...I'd add a handful of sauted onions, too. What I'm saying, make it your own. The prep time includes the marinade time.

MEXICAN DRY RUB
This rub is great for chicken, fish, veggies or pork. The chicken tastes like El Pollo Loco chicken to me(a fast food chain in California). For extra heat, double the red pepper flakes!
