2 cans stewed tomatoes
2 cups water

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 pepper. Add chicken, cabbage, green beans and onions. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until thickest pieces of chicken are done, 20 to 30 minutes. 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.

There are many variations to this recipe depending on where you come from, but this Ghanian recipe seems acceptable to most. The basic ingredients you must have when making this dish is the peppers, paprika, turmeric and the tomatoes. In this recipe, you can add beans, chicken and even ham which seems like a lot of different flavors in one dish but ill try it.
