Recipe Ingredients

3 1/2 lbs	1589g / 56oz	Chicken - whole, cut up
		Salt and pepper - to taste
1 tablespoon	15ml	Olive oil
2 teaspoons	10ml	Minced garlic
1 teaspoon	5ml	Dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Ground cloves

1 cup	237ml	Mild or medium thick salsa
1 tablespoon	15ml	Lemon or lime juice
1 cup	160g / 5.6oz	White rice

Recipe Instructions

1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until very well browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.

2. Add garlic, oregano, cinnamon and cloves to the skillet and cook, stirring until the garlic is golden, about 30 seconds. Stir in chicken broth, salsa and lemon or lime juice.

3. Bring the mixture to simmer and stir in rice. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Place the browned chicken on top and cover tightly with a lid or foil. Cook until rice has absorbed all the liquid and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.
