Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

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

  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the yellow rice according to package directions.
  • 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.
