Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a frying pan, lightly fry the chicken pieces on both sides in 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Remove and put in a saucepan. The chicken shouldn’t be completely cooked.

Add 2 liters of water over the chicken pieces and let it boil. As the water boils remove with a spoon any foam that might form on the water surface. Discard. Once the foam removed add 1 onion, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods and bay leaves to the water. Cover the pan with a lid keeping a small opening to prevent the water to overflow while boiling. Keep on medium heat until the chicken is well cooked.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the saucepan and set aside. Strain the chicken broth and keep aside for later use.

In a deep pan, fry the chopped onion with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until golden, then add the ground meat and keep on cooking until meat turns brown.

Brown Rice with Chicken Brown Rice with Chicken
This chicken and rice dish brings back memories of my days working at the United Nations. We sold hundreds of servings, and it was very popular with everyone, no matter their nationality. It was especially loved by people from the Caribbean, Central, and South America.In this version, I used turmeric to give it a yellow color. You can also use saffron or ground annatto. Be careful when using turmeric, as it can stain your clothes and the stains are very hard to remove. Jon MichelenaTranslated from Cookpad Chile -
