Jollof rice w/ Chicken & Plantain

Nigerian jollof rice is a vibrant, one-pot dish where rice is simmered in a rich tomato and pepper base with aromatic spices. As a staple of West African cuisine, it is famously at the center of the "Jollof Wars," a friendly rivalry with other nations, particularly Ghana, over who makes the best version. The Nigerian variant is known for its bold flavors and its use of long-grain parboiled rice, which yields fluffy, separated grains.
