This is my favorite dish to order at my favorite Mexican restaurant. After alot of searching I found a recipe that is really close to the one I love. I did't copy down where I got it so I can't give credit where it is due! It has alot of ingredients so it looks like it might be hard...but it is really easy and fast!

Arroz Con Pollo

"Chicken nestled in a melange of saffron rice, wine, vegetables, onion and garlic."
INGREDIENTS:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine
1/8 teaspoon saffron
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS:
Cut each breast into 1 inch pieces. Sprinkle chicken with a 1/4 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook until golden. Remove chicken, and set aside.
Add green pepper, onions, and garlic to oil in skillet. Cook for 5 minutes. Add rice; cook and stir until rice is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in broth, white wine, saffron, and tomatoes. Stir in remaining salt, pepper, and paprika. Return to a boil. Cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Return chicken to the skillet, and cook to reheat. Stir in parsley.
