Easy and Delicious Arroz Con Pollo Recipe (& $200 ALDI Giveaway!)
This post has been sponsored by ALDI
It’s no secret we are big Mexican food fans in our house. We have Taco Tuesday every week, I make enchiladas on the regular, and salsa and guacamole are staples in our fridge.
One of my absolute favorite Mexican dishes is Arroz Con Pollo. It’s a favorite because it’s not only delicious, but also incredibly easy to make and you can also switch up ingredients here or there to keep it interesting.
This Arroz Con Pollo recipe in particular has been a recent favorite in my family. Even the kids love it.
You guys also know by now how much I love ALDI. It’s one of my favorite grocery stores for so many reasons. One, I love that it is so easy to navigate, two, it’s a place I can get in and out of in a hurry, three, they carry a TON of healthy, organic, and natural food options, and four, I love that they carry so many brands that are not only just as delicious as the national competitive brands, but more affordable.
This recipe is made entirely with ingredients I picked up at my local ALDI!
The Happy Farms cheese is $2.69 and the Kraft cheese is $4.99.
The Pueblo Lindo tortillas are $1.29 and the La Banderita tortillas are $3.99.

I LOVE ALL ITEMS FROM ALDI. THANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO WIN SUCH AN AMAZING GIVEAWAY.
I LOVE Aldi!! Always great products at a great price!! Thank you!!
I love Aldi and shop there all the time! You can’t get a better deal for your money and you can’t tell the difference in quality – it’s the same if not better than name brands!
i love Aldi! just remember your quarter and bags !
I still need to visit our local Aldi!
I love Aldi’s it is one of my favorite stores <3
My fiance orders ACP ALL.THE.TIME. when we go out for dinner at Mexican restaurants (which admittedly might be a little too often that we do that…). I definitely need to try this recipe! (Or…more likely I’ll give the recipe to him and have him cook. Because yunno. I burn things.)
I have the same dishes! Both my grandma and my great aunt gave me their sets so I have quite the collection and I love them so much. Also – Aldi is the BEST. Switched to Aldi as my primary grocery store 6+ years ago and I’ve been saving big money ever since.
I LOVE ACP ❤ lol. I grew up with a Puerto Rican best friend, which in turn gave me a Puerto Rican second family. The food is different, but helped expose me to Hispanic/Latin foods. I’d leave to share a recipe for arroz con gandules (rice and beans) and the recipe for how I cook the chicken to go with it. I actually might make it a “Tasty Tuesday” post 🤔 Any who, I’ll definitely be trying your recipe!
