Bradley the Singing Chef's Slow Cooker Arroz con Pollo con Queso (Cheesy Spanish Chicken and Rice)
Hey Y'all! This is a great, easy crock pot/slow cooker recipe that will meal prep you for a week or feed a crowd!! It is my take on a Spanish classic with some cheese added.......cause.....cheese makes everything better! It's only second to butter in my love languages!! LOL! This beautiful shredded chicken with spice filled rice and veggies gets an extra boost of cheese to send it over the top. Hope you enjoy this one! Eat Well.......Love Always! Bon apetit y'all!!!
INGREDIENTS:
2-3 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs
3 chopped large bell peppers (color of your choice; I used red and yellow)
1 chopped onion
3-4 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
1 can of Rotel (diced tomatoes and peppers)

COPYCAT Arroz Con Pollo & Queso Blanco | Favorite Mexican Restaurant Dish at Home!
Hey, hi, hello everyone and welcome back to Morgs' Menu!
Today's video I show you how I make one of my favorite dishes to get at a Mexican restaurant: Arroz con Pollo (or ACP) topped with queso blanco (or cheese sauce as I say in the video so I don't butcher the pronunciation lol). As I mentioned, I tested a bunch of recipes and these recipes are inspired from two TikTok videos that I'll link below, but full steps of exactly what I did is below as well!
Thanks for watching my video! Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already!

CHORIQUESO! How to Make my Favorite Mexican Restaurant Appetizer & Chile Pequin Salsa Recipe
Today we’re cooking a CHORIQUESO!
Getcha Some APC BBQ Rubs Here:
Join the Pitmaster Class for 25% OFF:
Sometimes this is called a “queso flameado” but queso flameado is usually lit on fire with a shot of tequila - we’re not doing that today. We’re making a simple choriqueso the way we used to experience it here in
South Texas on the border. Sometimes this is made with rajas, sometimes with mushrooms or other chile pepper and onion toppings, but today we’re keeping it simple.
A lot of my barbecue passion and experience came from my father and grandfather, but the choriqueso and cabrito experience came from my father in law – Frank Nieto!
Today we’re cooking over the fire on the ProPit RPG Grill but you can cook this on the stove top or in the oven, whatever works best for you. All you need for this recipe is two packages of Chorizo de San Manuel, our favorite chorizo, and two packs of queso oaxaca.
This recipe is so, so easy to make. All we have to do is cook the chorizo in the pan, add the grated cheese, and then pull yourself a big ol delicious choriqueso taco. You can top this with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or anything else you like. Let’s fire it up and cook some choriqueso!
