Directions
Heat the oil over medium heat in a nonstick pot.

Cook over medium heat, stirring often, for about 3 minutes or until tender.
Add the rice and sauté for 2 – 3 minutes, stirring constantly until it begins to brown.
Add the chicken, salt, chicken broth, water, saffron (Sazón), and tomatoes.
