Authentic Spanish food?!

Question

Does anyone have a recipe for rice and beans with chicken? 
I friend of mine who I used to live with right out of high school used to make it all the time for us and it was absolutely amazing. We are no longer in touch and I would love to be able to make it. It was soooo good. 
Thank you!

Answer

You can also watch videos on Youtube, and find recipes on google, dominican and puerto rican foods are very similar.
 
Here is my recipe I cook Dominican food but like I said before they are almost the same.
For my beans:
I use 2 cans of the goya pink pinto beans
1 1/2 cup of water
2 gloves of garlic
1 teaspoon of oregano 
Half Chopped up purple onion 
Half chopped up green peppers
Teaspoon of vinegar 
Teaspoon of tomato paste
Chop up some cilantro
Half a cube of knorr chicken flavor bouillon 
Teaspoon of olive oil
Salt to taste
Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until you see the beans thickening.
White rice is very simple
I use two cups of rice
3 cups of water
Add two table spoons of salt to taste
And two table spoons of oil so like that the rice doesnt stick too much to the pot stir and let it simmer up until you see that most of the water from the rice has been evaporated. Then lower the heat (very low), cover the pot for 20 mins do not open until the 20 mins have been done.
Chicken
I first wash the chicken with either lime/lemon juice or pretty much anything acidic you can also use apple cider vinegar or just regular vinegar, also add cold water, rinse the chicken about two more times with cold water, then drain.
To season
4 cloves of garlic mashed, or chopped up,
Half and onion, I prefer purple
Half of green pepper
1 tablespoon of oregano
1 teaspoon of Adobo 
1 teaspoon of Black pepper
1 table spoon of soy sauce (OPTIONAL)
Some cilantro (optional)
Add two table spoons of vinegar or any of the ones mentioned above.
You can also add a teaspoon of salt or extra adobo.
Then to cook again this is my recipe so what I do is I usually make sure the cooking pot is hot and dry, then add cooking oil Then I add two tablespoons of sugar in the oil to caramelize the chicken but before adding the chicken you want to make sure the sugar is almost burning it starts to bubble and turns to a dark brown, one that happens you quickly add your chicken to the pot one by one, be careful and dont burn yourself, do not add any of the onions or peppers that have been use to marinate the chicken, ( I like to add them once the chicken is almost done to give it extra flavor as well as the remaining liquid left to marinate the chicken)
Make sure to stir the chicken once it has been added to the pot. Cover and let it simmer for 5 minutes, the chicken tends to sweat so there will be water in the pot. Once the water is drying up you can continue to add at least half a cup of water and continue to cover and stir every 10 minutes. For me I like to cook my chicken for an hour to an hour and 30 mins ( I like my chicken to fall off the bone). You can add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste to thicken the sauce and during the last 10 minutes add the remaining onions and peppers together with the vinegar used to marinate the chicken add salt to taste if you think it might need it and just let it simmer for about 3 extra mins to dissolve the salt.

That was the way I was taught and my favorite version, my boyfriends sister does it another way adding actual tomato’s and cilantro.. I’m just not the biggest fan of cilantro so I don’t make it that way often and I’d have to dig out the recipe.. they’re pretty similar though.
