INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 whole chicken
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • seasoning salt to taste
  • 1 (10 ounce) package yellow rice
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimentos, drained

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the yellow rice according to package directions.
  5. Mix the shredded chicken and cooked rice into the Dutch oven with the vegetables. Return to the 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven, and continue cooking 15 minutes before serving.
