AIP Arroz Con Pollo

My family is Colombian and Arroz con Pollo was a weekly staple at our house while growing up. The first time I implemented AIP, I was on a small food budget and didn’t have much room to explore more diverse AIP meals. So, I was excited when Amanda Torres, @curiouscoconut, published her book, Latina American Paleo Cookbook.

This book really helped me to get creative with AIP meals and try out some childhood favorites. One of those being, Arroz con Pollo.

This recipe is adapted from Amanda Torres’ [@thecuriouscoconut] book, Latin American Paleo Cooking.
