My mom taught me this dish. She is great at cooking it. I am not sure if there is another name for it, but from since a kid I have known it as "Kittree". Here is the recipe for kittree.
1/2 (half) onion
4 or 5 fegs of garlic
1/2 large pepper or about 3 wiri wiri pepper (gives great flavor)
2 lbs cut up chicken
1 and 1/2 pint rice (brown)
3/4 pint of split peas (yellow peas)
black pepper to taste
Fine leaf thyme to taste
about 1/2 stem fine chopped celery.
1/2 (half) stick butter.
Cut onion , garlic and pepper in to small pieces and fry same in a small amount of oil. Stir until garlic and onion appears to be getting brown. Add 2 pints of water and bring to boil. Then add split peas to pot and boil for 15 minutes. Add rice and allow to boil for 20 minutes.
In the meanwhile you can fry the cut up chicken without or with seasoning to your taste, in another pot. After the rice has boiled for the 20 minutes as suggested above, add the fried up chicken to it. Add the celery, the black pepper, the butter, and the fine leaf thyme. Stir and allow to cook for another 10 to 15 minutes. (You can always add water to ensure the rice is totally cooked. )
Serve hot or stale. Enjoy.

This recipe is great. I normally use bhajee and add no meat, so this was a good change. The wiri wiri peppers add wonderful flavor and complement the dhal very nicely.
It is great how such simple ingredients come together for a delicious and satisfying meal.
This sounds good. Is it another recipe from the Caribbean?
This recipe is mostly a Guyanese dish. Thank you guys for your comments.
