🇩🇴 Dominican Republic recipe
Locrio de Pollo
Locrio is the Dominican cousin of Spanish arroz con pollo and a staple one-pot meal found in every home kitchen. Chicken pieces are braised in a rich tomato-based sofrito until deeply colored, then rice is added to absorb all those magnificent juices as it cooks. The result is rice infused with flavor in every grain, studded with tender chicken, olives, and capers. It is hearty, economical, and utterly satisfying.
