Heat chicken, tomatoes (with liquid), water, 2 tsp salt and the pepper
to boiling in 5-quart Dutch oven; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 30
minutes. Remove chicken. Sttir in rice, ham, cinnamon and red

NOTES : [Note: There are lots of versions of Jollof rice. It is a common West
African dish. One I particularly like uses chicken, rice, onion,
chopped tomatoes, and a bunch of fresh thyme. Saffron added is also
good as a variation. -- cmt]
