GREEK CHICKEN AND RICE (Kotta Pilafi)

6 chicken breasts (about 3 lbs.)
1/4 c. butter
1 medium onion chopped fine
1 1/2 c. canned tomatoes
2 c. water
1 t. ground cinnamon
salt & pepper to taste
1 c. uncooked rice
dairy sour cream for garnish

Sauté chicken breasts in butter until golden brown. Add onion, tomato, water, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 30 min.. Add rice and stir to mix evenly. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes longer or until the rice is tender. Add more water if necessary. Serve with a bowl of sour cream to be spooned over the rice.
(Serves 6)
Additions called in from Bessie:
Use one whole broiler (3 lbs.) cut up into pieces. Sauté in 1/4 c. olive oil (not butter). Use 3 c. boiling water with the rice instead of 2 c. (you won't have to add water later this way).
