Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a nice browning. Generously rub adobo seasoning over the chicken, making sure to cover all sides. Set aside to let the seasoning meld while you heat the olive oil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet. Sauté for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
- With the chicken removed from the skillet, add the saffron yellow rice, water, and tomato bouillon cube. Stir everything together, ensuring the bouillon dissolves completely. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
- After the rice has cooked, gently fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. Reduce the heat further and fold in the white queso and milk, stirring until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Transfer portions of the vibrant rice to plates, ensuring each serving includes succulent pieces of chicken adorned with the luscious queso sauce.
