World Cuisine Recipe ∼ Chicken with Rice - Pilaffe

This is a Macedonian recipe from my great-grandmother. Children love this because it doesn't have complicated flavors.

Ingredients

• 1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
• 3 cups uncooked white rice, rinsed
• ½ cup butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning

Cooking Directions

1. Place chicken in a large soup pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Stir in the salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning; boil for 1 hour, skimming fat from water occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Melt the butter over low heat in a large skillet. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes. Transfer rice to a large roasting pan. Pour the broth from the chicken into the roasting pan; top with the chicken.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until rice is cooked, about 30 minutes.
