How to make Canja

  • Add the chicken, onion, and chicken stock to a large sauce pan.
    • Cover the pan with a lid and bring its contents to a simmer.
    • Cook over low heat until the chicken is tender; about 45 mins.
    • Lift the chicken out onto a platterthen set aside.
  • Using a sieve, strain the stock.
    • Skim off fat as much as possible from the stock after discarding the solids.
    • Rinse out the saucepan and return the stock to the pan.
    • Add the rice, tomatoes, and carrots to the stock.
    • Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
    • Bring to a simmer.
  • Cook until the rice turns tender; about 25 min.
  • When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it into ½ x 1 ½ in strips.
  • Return the chicken and ham to the soup and cook just long enough for it to heat through.
  • Add the parsley.
  • Serve and enjoy!
