This is unconventional. It takes some time. Great food usually does. Recipe comes from Cook's Illustrated folks. I make it a lot. I eat a lot. I am content. This is NOT just chicken and rice. This is sublime. If you like this recipe visit my site for more: http://mybestcookbook.wordpress.com

    Add the rice olives and capers, and simmer covered until oven pre-heats to 350.
  • 5
    Place in oven for 20 minutes, check, add water if necessary, and return to cook for 10 minutes. Rice should be cooked.
