My Grandma C made this recipe when I was a kid. I love it. You have to make sure you follow this one to get the rice just right. Its really great and loved by all. I think this recipe originated in Panama.

Ingredients
2lbs chicken
3tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic crushed
1 onion chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
2c or 2 cans of chicken stock
Salt and pepper
Italian spices or spaghetti sauce spice pack
Long Grain Rice (Liquid to rice is 2 to 1)
Capers
Pimentos
Green olives
                
Method
Rub garlic into chicken, salt and pepper, fry in hot oil until golden add onions and cook until soft, add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and bay leaves. Cook until done, in slow heat. Take chicken out off broth let it cool, and de-bone, and shred into small pieces. Measure out liquid, it should be about 4 cups. Add rice to broth. Add to this 2 cups of rice (if 4c of liquid). Then add the chicken, Bake for 45 minutes on a 350° oven. Add a small jar of pimentos, olives, capers. Mix gently return to oven for 15 minutes, or so until rice is soft.  Good luck.
