Fry the chicken in hot oil for about fifteen minutes. Once the chicken turns brown, remove them from the pan. Do not drain the drippings that remain in the pan. Fry the rice slightly with those remaining drippings and then, cook the rice with onion and garlic. Carry on with this process until the rice turns golden brown. After a while, add chicken broth, salt, pepper and squashed tomatoes. Now, boil the whole mixture. Do not forget to stir the mixture during its process of boiling.
Otherwise, the rice tends to stick to the pan. After a short while, place the pieces of chicken on the boiled rice mixture.
