Rotisserie Chicken Arroz Caldo Recipe

Rotisserie Chicken Arroz Caldo Recipe is my other version of arroz caldo in which I use pre-cooked chicken, instead of the usual raw chopped chicken.

This recipe calls for rotisserie chicken or lechon manok. You can use left overs of freshly cooked chicken for this recipe. Using cooked chicken will save you time and it will also infuse flavor to your arroz caldo dish.

I discovered that using lechon manok will give your arroz caldo a smoky flavor, which compliments well with the other ingredients. Rotisserie chicken, on the other hand, provides a yummy roast chicken flavor that blends well with the ginger.

I am using Jasmine rice for this recipe. You can use other rice varieties , but I do not recommend the use of glutinous rice (malagkit), as it will have a different texture. If you insist in using glutinous rice, make sure to add more water to balance the consistency. You will enjoy this dish with some chopped scallions, toasted garlic, and a slice of lemon or calamansi.
