Steps

1

In a large pot with 12 3/4 cups water (3 liters) already boiling, add the chicken pieces and diced onion. Season with salt to taste. After 20 minutes of cooking, add the whole peeled potatoes and cook until the potatoes are tender. Remove the chicken and potatoes and set aside. Also reserve the broth.
2

While the chicken is cooking, in another pot with 12 3/4 cups boiling water (3 liters), cook the rice with salt to taste for about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is creamy. If the rice is not creamy and starts to dry out or stick, add 1 more cup of water and keep stirring to prevent sticking. Set aside.

While steps 1 and 2 are cooking, in a small pot with 4 1/4 cups water (1 liter), cook the fava beans. After 15 minutes, add the green onion strips and salt to taste, and cook for another 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet with hot oil, fry the chicken pieces, sprinkling with a little salt, until golden brown. Set aside.
