Part 1 - Majadito

1 c
rice - short grain
3
chicken breast
3 c
water
3 c
chicken stock (optional)
1
small red onion
2 cloves
garlic
1 tsp
cumin
2 tbsp
oil
2 tsp
paprika
to taste
salt and pepper
2 tbsp
finely chopped green onion

Cook the chicken breast in the water. Take chicken out of the opt to cool. Pull the meat. Set aside. Keep the stock.

In a pot add the 2 tsp oil. Sauté the red onion and garlic previously chopped or minced.

Add the chicken stock from cooking the chicken. Let it boil and add the rice and pulled meat. Season with salt and ground pepper, paprika and cumin. Stir the mixture often. As rice cooks, it will absorb all water, you may add 1 cup at a time from the commercial chicken stock. Cook until rice is tender. Mixture has to still be pretty runny.
