CHICKEN AND RICE, BOCA GRANDE 
We had this a lot during WW2. My Mom would double on the rice and could feed a large family. Basic recipe and easy to experiment with. Boca Grande, Fla is where we lived.

1 whole chicken
4 cups water
salt and pepper
bay leaf
1 clove garlic
2 cups white rice

Boil chicken with seasoning 'til it's falling off the bone done, Cool and remove from bones. Discard skin. Measure broth and make sure you have 4 cups. Add rice and cook until tender. Return chicken to pot.

If you don't eat it all it's even better the next day.
