Recipe Introduction
I have made this and mixed all ingredients together (rice) for Sherry to
take to school. Was a big hit. I copied this recipe from a newspaper
many years ago and to the best of my recollection, it is an African Dish.
It takes a little time to make, but it is well worth the effort -- one of the
best rice/chicken dishes I've had. Wonderful flavors.
