Steps

1

Cook over medium heat until the chicken releases its own juices. If it doesn’t release much, add a little water, cover, and cook until fully done.
2

For the Chicken: Chop and mix all the ingredients together.
3

Stir until most of the liquid has evaporated and the chicken is ready to eat. ☺
4

For the Rice: Place the vermicelli noodles in the pot where you’ll cook the rice. Stir until golden brown.
5

Add 6 cups of water, dissolve the bouillon if using, add salt and oil, and wait for it to boil. Then add the 3 cups of rice.
6

Let the rice absorb the water, then stir, reduce the heat, and cover. Once the rice is dry, stir again. The rice is ready to serve. ☺
7

For the Salad: Place everything in a glass or plastic bowl. Chop the tomatoes, then finely chop the onion. Add salt to taste, squeeze in the lime, and add the olive oil.
8

Mix everything together and it’s ready for the table! ☺
