Cook for about fourty five minutes or until rice is cooked. Keep checking rice every 20 minutes and adding chicken broth when needed. Saute dark leafy greens with olive oil. We used kale, mustard, broccoli rabe, and some Mt. Orach Spinach for it's mild flavor and beautiful pinkish red color, to break up all the green. Remove chicken skin, and serve chicken over a bed of rice, with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and a healthy side of leafy greens.
