USMC2602, no problem. You're welcome.
ribka, it works either way. This time I sauted the onions and pepper in a pan, then added chicken stock, then the rice and turmeric and other seasoning. Let it just come back to a boil and dumped it in the roast pan and nestled it around the chicken pieces. Peas went in after and got stirred into the rice.
The key for me is getting/keeping enough chicken stock and water in with the rice to keep it moist.
