• 1 whole chicken or 2-3 chicken breasts
• 2 tbs salt
• 1 tsp or more of cinnamon, (I just sprinkle until the top of the water is covered)
• dash of pepper
• 2 cups Uncle Ben's Rice
• 2 to 4 onions, cut in slivered
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 can chick peas

1. 1.Cover chicken with water, add salt,pepper and cinnamon, boil until done. De-bone.
2. 2.In a 4-6qt pan cook onions in butter until limp.
3. 3.Add a layer of drained Chick Peas, a layer of chicken adding more cinnamon, salt & pepper if needed. (I usually don't). Next add 2 cups rice and 4 cups of chicken broth. Cover with lid and bring to a boil then lower to a simmer cooking until rice is done and water absorbed.
4. 4.Let set for 10 mins then turn upside down on a platter.
5. 5.Enjoy
6. 6.One recipe says you can sub beef or lamb for the chicken...I never have tried this but it sounds good.
