Only Added extras of what’s already in the recipe: 1/2 C extra olives, extra garlic, tad bit extra wine, the extra additional ingredient was a light sprinkle of smoked paprika - it’s spanish too, so it goes great and I love it! I use all these ingredients all the time, minus the Saffron threads so I wasn’t really expecting anything much different or special but it really was spectacular, comforting and delicious 😋 this will be on a regular rotation in my repertoire Thank you Martha 🍓 you’re still my favorite after all these decades

I just put this into the oven and my house smells amazing. I made many changes and I added peas. I used Chardonnay, used fresh rosemary, sweet peppers. Skipped the tomato, olives, and saffron. Added Aromatics. I know my husband will like it. Also a little turmeric for color. Yellow food is pretty.

This dish was a big success at our dinner table last night. There were lots of nice flavors in chicken, rice, tomatoes and olives. Arroz con pollo was not previously welcomed by my family, so it was with great pleasure I saw them eat and enjoy dinner last night. Used medium grain rice...it worked. The olives carry a lot of flavor; next time I might cut them in half before cooking or before serving so the tender palates stay with the meal.

I could not find Valencia in the market. Arborio was the only short grain rice I could find, but I don't like the texture of arborio. So, I used medium grain rice. I also used dry vermouth, which I had on hand for a poached pears recipe. Those are the only two changes made due to necessity. The finished result was absolutely delicious. Very easy to make. Will be making this again for a ladies luncheon, and a Spanish guitar tape in the background for atmosphere!

My husband taped the PBS show so I could make this for him. I ordered Spanish rice and saffron from Amazon. I, honestly, thought I heard Martha say a cup of wine but it was supposed to be half. I heard her say to add peppers or eggplant, I added some fancy mushrooms. It was very delicious and reminiscent of a recent Spanish vacation. I will be making it again and will try the correct amount of wine.

This was fantastic and so easy! I followed the recipe exactly. As a previous commenter had suggested, the only thing I added was 1/2 cup of frozen peas at the end. Also, I'm not usually a fan of manzanilla olives; however, they gave the dish a nice briny bite.

Usually, when I make Aroz con Pollo, I make it Caribbean style, so the chile cud a spicy stew made with chilies, tomatoes, capers and green olives that is served over yellow rice, but when I saw Martha make this on her PBS show, it looked delicious, so we tried it. We loved it. It was simple to make, packed with flavor and really tasty. I let the saffron soak in the wine for an hour, so it had intense color. We made sangria with the rest of the wine using berries and citrus. A perfect meal

Delicious Sunday dinner! I used boneless chicken thighs & arborio rice (couldn't find short grain) but cut amount of rice, broth & olives in half for just the two of us. Love the flavors, especially the green olives.

This was awesome. It did create a lot of rice, but the taste was outstanding. I made sure to cook down the veggies and wine to the point of almost carmelization. So the flavor was very flavorful. The family LOVED it! thank you, Martha.

I made this Arroz Con Pollo recipe last night. We saw Martha make it on TV and it looked delicious. Martha's people didn't get the recipe right online here. This is not a good recipe at all, and I've been a fan of Martha Stewart for over twenty years. There is way too much rice (3 cups raw rice) for 6 chicken thighs, and not enough tomatoes for that amount of rice. It has very little flavor, the chicken is bland and so is the rice, even with the saffron in it. Definitely a thumbs down.
