Ingredients to make rice with chicken and saffron:
1. We chop vegetables, that is, onion, red pepper and green pepper and garlic cloves. We recommend chopping all ingredients in pieces of equal size.
2. We put a casserole with a good stream of oil, add the vegetables when it is hot and leave them for a few minutes so that they are pointed over medium heat.
3. We take a few strands of saffron. Although we can also use the powder version to prepare rice with chicken and saffron, the difference lies in the fact that the strands will have to toast them a bit, as we will see in the next step.
4. When the vegetables are poached, we add the strands and, very carefully, let them have a little but without burning. Although we think we can skip this step, the truth is that no, since if we do not toast the strands the saffron will not contribute all its flavor. On the other hand, it is necessary to use few strands, since it provides a very intense flavor.
Trick: If we use saffron powder it is not necessary to toast it.
5. Then we add the crushed tomato, stir everything and let it just make the sauce for a few minutes.
6. We cut the chicken into pieces, we leave and add them to the casserole with the sauce. Let everything be cooked together, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
7. We incorporate the rice and stir so that all flavors are integrated well and, in turn, the cereal is a bit.
8. We pour the hot chicken broth, move a little, and let the rice be cooked with saffron and chicken for 18 minutes over medium-low heat. It is important to review the cooking of rice from 10 minutes, since, depending on the type we use, it may take less to cook.
