Locrio de Pollo: Dominican Rice Cooked with Chicken
Locrio is a comforting one-pot rice dish that gives travelers another way to explore Dominican home cooking.
Locrio de pollo brings rice and chicken together in a seasoned one-pot preparation. It is a familiar, satisfying dish that sits naturally beside the country’s stews and rice-and-beans meals.
A simple dish with local character
The rice absorbs flavor from the chicken and cooking seasonings, so the finished dish is more than a plate of grains beside meat. Recipes vary from family to family, and some cooks add vegetables or different seasonings.

Find it in a neighborhood kitchen
Comedores and casual restaurants may serve locrio as a daily special. Ask what accompanies it and whether the dish includes bones, olives or other ingredients that matter to you.
If you have food allergies, communicate them directly before ordering. Staff may be able to explain the recipe or suggest another dish, but never assume a menu item is free of an ingredient without checking.
Conseils pratiques
- Ask whether the chicken is served bone-in and what sides are included.
