Crockpot Arroz Con Pollo
A slow cooker version of the classic Spanish chicken and rice dish. Serve with a green salad and hot crusty bread, and pass the hot pepper sauce for those who like heat. Turmeric can be used to convey the saffron color in a dish, but it will not provide the same flavor as the original.
