Ingredients:

Serving

32 oz chicken broth (2lb box)
1 chicken, whole
7 celery ribs, with chopped leaves (diced into 1 to 2-inch pieces)
4 whole carrots (diced into 1 to 2-inch pieces- sliced on angle)
1 green bell pepper (seeded and cubed )
1 cup baby carrots (whole )
1 large onion ( rough dice)
10 garlic cloves (pressed
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp tony chachere's seasoning (to taste)
1 tbsp ginger powder (or three inches of fresh minced)
1 tbsp parsley flakes
1 1/2-2 cups uncooked long grain rice

Directions:

Place chicken in pot and cover with 3 to 4 of water, depending on the size of the pot.
Boil chicken until tender.
Skim off foam with ladle and remove from heat.
Let chicken rest in the pot and juices while you prep the veg.
When vegetables are prepped, bring the pot to a rolling boil & add uncooked rice.
Add entire container of Chicken Broth.
Add vegetables and allow to simmer, covered, on low for 15 minutes.
When the rice and vegetables are al dente , Remove from heat.
Add dry seasonings, stirring gently to marry the flavors.
ADJUST seasonings for taste.
REMOVE from heat.
Let sit until time to serve (Not more than an hour) so that the chicken can absorb the flavors and will continue to fall off the bone, while the vegetables tenderize.
THIS is how my Grandmother likes it.
**** MY VARIATION****: If I were doing it for myself and guests, I'd add 1/4 C cognac OR Sherry, 1/3 C Sauternes, 8 to 10 medium-chopped vine ripened-plum tomatoes, a bit of cayenne to taste and 1/2 to 1 C Half and Half, 1 to 2 TBS sugar (or the equivalent in substitute), 1TBS Champagne or Cider Vinegar and a dash of fresh nutmeg once plated.
