Saute the onion and pepper in olive oil until onions are tender then add garlic. After about 5 minutes add the oregano, tomato sauce, sazon, adobo and saute until it becomes like a paste. Then add the chick peas and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil then add the rice. Stir once and boil until almost all the moisture is evaporated(try not to stir more then 2 or 3 times during this process to avoid mushy rice). Once water is evaporated put the flame on low and simmer covered for about 25 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and let sit for a few minutes to absorb any remaining moisture.

Cuban Chicken over Spanish Rice

I threw this together with ingredients I had on hand since I couldn't get out to the store because of the snow and it was a hit with my DH and picky daughter. Delicious! Reminded me of a Cuban dish I had in Navarre, Florida while visiting a friend. Submitted by:
