Light arroz con pollo for a recuperating Tummy

Now she´s getting ready go eat more food so I decided to make a lighter version of arroz con pollo which came out very good.

I used a seasoning mix I keep in the fridge which is a mixture of 1 onion, 6 cloves of garlic, cilantro, parsley, salt and pepper all processed to a paste.

I cooked 3 breasts with bones with 6 cups of water and 1 heaping tablespoon of the seasoning mix.

Then bought a package of 12 oz frozen mixed veggies and sauted them slightly in the rice pot with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablsepoon of cilantro leaves. Then added 2 cups of rice, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 heaping tablespoon of seasoning mixture and cooked during 2 to 3 minutes. Next I added 4 cups of the stock from the cooked breasts and cooked the rice over medium high heat until the rice was close to the surface. In the meantime I cut the breast meat into pieces and placed it over the rice, covered the rice, lowered the heat to minimum and cooked everything for 20 minutes. Before serving I added 1 tablespoon of cilantro and served…
