Puerto Rican chicken and rice from A Bird in the Hand: Chicken Recipes for Every Day and Every Mood (page 25) by Diana Henry

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Another delicious and easy recipe by Ms. Henry - I love how everything cooks together and creates one big flavour bomb. This was my first time trying achiote paste and there's really nothing like it.

    I loved this, so much flavour and absolutely delicious! The chicken turns out moist and that rice, oh yum! The only downside is that it's a palaver to make so certainly wouldn't be a weeknight dish as DH suggests. Also note that the achiotte paste takes some effort to dissolve, I ended up dissolving it in the stock.
