For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a bay leaf during the pressure cooking stage. Remember to remove it before serving. If you prefer a drier Arroz con Pollo, reduce the amount of liquid by 1/4 cup. Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste. The sazon seasoning and salt pork already contribute a good amount of saltiness. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
