1 In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook drumsticks in oil 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is well browned on all sides.
2 Stir in rice, broth and frozen vegetables. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To reduce the cost in this recipe, you can use 3 cups of water instead of the chicken broth, although the chicken broth does give more flavor.

If chicken thighs are on sale, they would make a great substitute for the drumsticks.

My husband is from Puerto Rico and he loved this meal! It was super easy to make too. I usually tweak recipes to my liking but I didnt add/change anything at all (my husband told me not to) and it turned out great. Will definitely make again.
