- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3-1/2 lbs chicken pieces, with the
skin removed (legs & thighs are fine)
- 2 to 4 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup dry white rice
- 4 chicken bouillon cubes
- 1 lb frozen broccoli
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet. Lay in
the chicken pieces. Fry them over medium
heat until they brown very well on each
side. Let them cook for a full 10 minutes on
each side (see note below). Add the garlic
to the skillet when the chicken is good and
brown. Stir it up for a moment or two, until
it releases it's fragrance. Add the water,
rice and bouillon cubes. Stir the mixture a
bit to dissolve the bouillon cubes and bring
it to a boil. Add the frozen broccoli, sort
of laying it on top of everything else.
Cover the skillet with a good lid, or handy
pizza pan. Let it all simmer for 25 to 30
minutes. Serve hot with a nice homemade
bread. Serves 6.
NOTE: Do not try to speed things up by
frying the chicken for less than 10 minutes
on EACH side. The chicken needs a full 45
minutes cooking time in total. Twenty
minutes frying, and twenty-five minutes
cooking with the rice and broccoli.
