  • 1/2 cup of Pine Nuts
  • 1/2 cup of Butter
  • 5 1/2 cups of Water


1) Saute the onion, garlic and pine nuts in the butter. Once this mixture is browned add the water and bouillon cubes. Once the water comes to a boil, add the rice, turn the heat to low and let cook for about 10-15 minutes. Let the rice sit for 15 minutes once you've turned off the heat, gently stir the rice in the pot.

2) Cook the chicken the way you prefer, i prefer to put it in a baking pan and sprinkle with seasonings and bake until it's done, then broil so the skin is crisp.
