Arroz Con Pollo

My dad taught me to make arroz con pollo. His recipe used 1 chicken cut up (1/2 this recipe) for our family of 4, had no tomatoes and added a teaspoon of saffron, small can of sliced black olives or 1/4 cup sliced olives with pimento and 1/2 cup of green peas. Easy to make and delicious. The saffron adds a delicious flavor - my absolute favorite comfort food. So my rating of 4 is due to lack of saffron (tomatoes would overwhelm saffron flavor so delete tomatoes if using saffron).

You really shouldn't review a dish you didn't make. This isn't a review of your poor math skills.

How about we review how the recipe tastes, people, and not the extreme math challenge?! This was DELICIOUS, easy, terrific for a dinner party. Thanks for the tasty recipe.

Wumonger Agreed! It’s not that difficult jeez! I do it all the time. To give this 1 star without having cooked it because you don’t know how to do math? It does every9ne a disservice.

How on earth do myrecipes.com expect us to do all that arithmetic without a calculator? I would cut my chicken into 8 pieces and then cut the other chicken into 8 pieces and then go through my phone book and invite the first 16 people I came to over for dinner and save myself all that trouble.

1 star because you don't know how to do math? It says right at the very top that it serves 12 people. Divide the recipe in half! Then it will feed 6. That is the magic of learning math in school. You do use it again!

You can half the recipe or even divide it into thirds - I do this often when recipes are too

large.

Thankyou ! I agree !
