Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat the oil in a very large pan, soup pot, or large wok. Stir-fry the chicken pieces until browned on all sides. Remove the pieces from the vessel and keep aside.
  2. Add the onions, salt and pepper, hot pepper (to taste), garlic, thyme, ginger and cinnamon to the pot. Give it a stir and let it start cooking. Add the rice, chopped tomato, peppers, carrots and green beans to the pot.
  3. Stir the tomato paste into the broth/water, and add to the pot. (Remember to calculate the liquid according to the number of cups of rice you use).
  4. Bring all this to a boil, and simmer. About halfway through cooking this, add the chicken back into the pot.
  5. Cover (can cook uncovered as well) and cook over a low heat until the rice and vegetables are cooked. Stir the stew occasionally, carefully, to prevent burning at the bottom. If necessary, add a few glugs more liquid during cooking.
  6. Can be garnished with sliced hard-boiled eggs.
