Jollof Rice (An African Dish)

Ingredients

• 2 1/2–3 lb. fryer chicken (I use boneless, skinless equivalent - much easier!)
• 2 T cooking oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 16 oz. can stewed tomatoes, chopped
• 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup long grain rice
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 t. ginger, thyme and cinnamon
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/4 t. ground red pepper (can substitute chile powder)
• 1 T parsley

Directions

1. In a large skillet, brown chicken pieces on both sides in hot oil ~ 15’; remove. (Skip this if using skinless chicken.) Set chicken aside & reserve drippings.
