Valenciana Chicken

Notes: If using a whole chicken, you can have it cut into pieces (step 2) at the meat counter. If using a gas barbecue, make sure the paella pan will fit. Temperatures vary among barbecue models; you may need to adjust the heat and cooking times. If using charcoal, make sure the ingredients are ready before you start the fire, so you don't miss the peak heat. Follow the steps carefully, and the heat should cool down gradually as needed.

Pour lima beans into a colander; sort and remove debris, then rinse and drain beans. In a 4- to 5-quart pan over high heat, bring 2 1/2 to 3 quarts water and beans to a boil; cook for 2 minutes. Cover tightly, remove from heat, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain beans, reserving 2 quarts cooking liquid.

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Cut each thigh in half lengthwise along one side of bone; or with a cleaver, cut whole chicken through bones into 2- by 3-inch pieces (see notes). Pull off and discard any lumps of fat. Rinse green beans and remove and discard stem ends and any tough strings; cut beans into 3-inch lengths.

If using a charcoal barbecue (at least 22 in. wide), ignite 160 briquets (about 9 1/2 lb.) on the firegrate; open dampers. When coals are dotted with ash, in 15 to 20 minutes, spread into an even double layer about 2 inches wider than base of paella pan. Set grill 4 to 6 inches above charcoal. Let coals burn down until they're hot (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds), 5 to 10 minutes.

If using a gas barbecue (at least 19 in. wide), turn temperature to high, close lid, and let heat for 10 minutes.

Set a 17-inch paella pan on grill over hot coals or high heat on a gas grill. Add 2 tablespoons oil; with a wide spatula, spread to coat bottom of pan. When oil is hot, add chicken pieces (close lid on gas barbecue); cook, turning once, until lightly browned on both sides, 6 to 12 minutes total.

Add tomatoes and stir until most of the juices have evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon oil, green beans, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, paprika, and turmeric. Add soaked lima beans and the reserved 2 quarts cooking liquid (if it's cold, heat in a microwave oven or pan until hot before adding). Note level of liquid in pan: Measure distance from pan rim or handle rivets to level of liquid. (Close lid on gas barbecue.) Bring to a gentle boil.

Boil gently to flavor broth, 25 to 30 minutes (on gas barbecue, regulate heat as needed to maintain gentle boil). Remove about 1 cup broth from pan. Add enough water to match original level of liquid, 3 to 5 cups. Taste broth in pan, and season to taste with more salt; also taste reserved broth and season with salt.

Pour rice in a band down center of pan. Draw a wooden spoon or spatula in a wide zigzag pattern through rice and across pan to distribute rice evenly. Push any grains floating above broth back under. Simmer, without stirring, until rice is tender to bite, 25 to 30 minutes. If rice begins to scorch before it's tender, remove pan from heat and let coals burn down to a lower temperature before continuing. (On gas barbecue, close lid and regulate heat so liquid simmers briskly in the beginning, then lower heat when most of the liquid has evaporated; rotate pan occasionally so bottom cooks evenly.) If rice is still firm, drizzle about 1/2 cup of the reserved broth evenly over the top and cook for a few more minutes; repeat if necessary. (If reserved broth isn't needed, save for another use.)

With spoon, push aside a little of the top layer of rice to see if there is a brown crust on the bottom; if one hasn't formed yet, cook a few more minutes (adjust gas heat as necessary to brown, but not burn, rice). Remove from heat and let stand for about 5 minutes. Squeeze juice from lemons over rice. Add salt to taste.Arroz Valenciana is a hearty and tasty Filipino dish made of glutinous rice, coconut milk, chicken, Chorizo de Bilbao, and saffron.

Less than three weeks to Christmas! Can you believe it? It seems just yesterday when 2019 rolled in, and we are now in the last month of the year. Ugh, time, you move too fast.

Along with this Arroz Valenciana, we have, so far, ube biko, special mini sapin-sapin, and lechon manok already posted. I hope you check back here daily and find something tasty to make for the holidays.

Arroz a la Valenciana is another example of Spanish influence in Philippine culture. Brought to our shores by three centuries-long colonization and adapted to fit indigenous ingredients, this one-pan rice dish is made with parts glutinous and long-grain rice, coconut milk, chicken, chorizo de bilbao, and spices.

Although traditionally served during Christmas, fiestas, and other special occasions, it's easy enough to prepare for everyday dinner meals. As with most dishes, modes of preparation and ingredients may vary from one cook to another, from one region to the next.

Easy Chicken Paella Recipe

It is almost guaranteed that you will see this dish when you attend fiestas in provinces as it is one of the most popular dishes that Filipinos make during celebrations and festivities.

Is a Visayan adaptation of the famous Spanish paella. While Paella uses round ground rice and meat stock, this dish uses glutinous or sticky rice and coconut milk instead. It is also characterized by using turmeric (luyang dilaw), chicken, and chorizo de Bilbao.

It bears a lot of similarities to its regional sister dish, the Bringhe of Pampanga. Bringhe is actually a fusion of two dishes- the South East Asian Biryani and the Spanish Paella.

Paella Valenciana With Rabbit And Chicken

This is a simple version of this recipe that is really quick and easy to make. It is ideal for an everyday meal. You can get away with making this dish using only a few ingredients as long as the main ones are present: sticky rice, turmeric, coconut milk, and chicken. It is quite a customizable dish as well.

If you want to give it some flair for serving on special occasions, you can add Chorizo de Bilbao, green peas, and raisins. You can also use seafood and other meats like pork, beef, or duck. I have also encountered this dish served with some chicken gizzard and liver as well.

With banana leaves or use a large shallow serving dish. Arrange the toppings as desired. Alternatively, you can also use a llanera to shape it and then invert it to a serving plate.

To store leftovers, make sure to spread them in an airtight container or ziplock to prevent them from drying out. Unfortunately, rice does not last too long in the fridge, it is best to reheat them after a day or two. You can also freeze it for a month or two, but I normally don't because the quality is not the same

To reheat, first, break the huge lumps and you can use a microwave if using a microwave-safe container with a lid. The best way, I find, would be to reheat using a steamer. If you have banana leaves use that to line the steamer basket and transfer the cold/frozen Arroz Valenciana on it then cover and steam for a few minutes. Skip the banana leaves if not available. No need to thaw.
