Add the water, chicken and the whole onion into a large sauce pot and boil until chicken has cooked. When the chicken is ready take it out of the pot and set it aside for later use.

Add in the Olive Oil, bay leaf, salt and pepper, leave the onion in the pot to continue boiling with the rest of the ingredients for about 30 minutes.

Shred the chicken into small pieces and add into the boiling pot along with the rice. The rice I have used is specifically for soups, but you can use any rice of your choice. Let this simmer until rice has been cooked.

I have to apologize for not having pictures, but ummm I deleted them by accident. I thought I had uploaded them but I realized after deleting them that they were not.
