I was looking for the recipe for so long. My friend told me about it but he said we use the stock to cook rice.
And he said that they dont use any veggies, just boil the whole chicken. and use the water to make rice
and eat chicken side of the rice.
The Stewed Chicken is a traditional Turkish dish:) What you are looking is not this recipe.
There is an easy recipe to cook Turkish Rice Pilaf.
Cook the whole or half or quarter chicken with the whole peeled onion and salt, strain. Add some pepper and cook the Turkish Pilaf. The recipe is here:)
