I find it interesting that the Carribean, Latin America, and South American, the chicken and rice main is usually called Arroz con Pollo. A variation of that dish in the States is often called Spanish Rice. It was a pretty common weeknight meal in the 1950s and 1960s, made with rice, tomatoes/ tomato sauce and chicken. There are also American-style Spanish Rice recipes made with ground beef, as well as recipes without meat or chicken. One Ohio recipe is dated 1923.
When I took Spanish in high school , there was a story in our textbooks, where a Spaniard was asked what he liked to eat, and his answer was always Pollo con Arroz. I guess what he meant was chicken with rice on the side. When I’m googling chicken and rice dishes from Spain today, most results are also Arroz con Pollo, not Pollo con Arroz.
Unlike Hainan Chicken Rice!

this looks good to me
