Ghana Jollof Rice (With Chicken And Ham. Full Meal!) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups water
3 lbs chicken, cut into 8 pieces (bone in. I use drumsticks and thighs and remove the skin)
2 (16 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup smoked ham, cooked and cubed
1 cup rice, uncooked
1 large onion, sliced
3 cups green cabbage, shredded
1/2 lb fresh green beans, quartered and stems removed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Pour the water into a large pot. Add the chicken, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Stir in the ham, rice, onion, cabbage, green beans, cinnamon and cayenne pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the chicken is fork-tender and the rice is cooked - about 25 to 30 minutes. *You can choose to simmer it longer if you want to cook out more of the liquid. It's up to you. Enjoy!
