For an extra layer of flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of water for a richer taste. Serve with a side of avocado seasoned with lime and salt, or a vibrant onion salad dressed with lime, salt, and pepper for a truly authentic Peruvian experience.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside, leaving the flavorful drippings in the pot. (Total time: 5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the retained drippings. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro, season with salt and pepper, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. (Total time: 7 minutes)
03
StepReturn the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Add the rice, water, beer, diced carrot, and green peas. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients. (Total time: 3 minutes)
04
StepPlace the lid securely on the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently until the rice has fully absorbed the liquid and is tender, about 20 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time to ensure even cooking. (Total time: 20 minutes)
