There are many variations of Jollof rice. The most common basic ingredients are: rice, tomatoes and tomato paste, onion, salt, and red pepper. Beyond that, nearly any kind of meat, vegetable, or spice can be added." ~ Wikipedia
I use a recipe close to this one. Tonight I used what I had on hand for the base vegetables: collard greens and beets. I have packs of pre-made rice and shredded chicken ready in the freezer, so this is a quick meal for us.

Yum!! I still have a mess of beet greens (and beets.) I think I know what we'll do with the leftover rice from tonight's dinner!
Jollof rice is awesome! Until a few years ago there was a Nigerian restaurant downtown that served jollof rice with honey beans and it was fabulous. Shredded chicken is a good idea and would cut down on cooking time. I used diced chicken breasts and they turned out juicy and delicious. This dish made four days' lunches for me (since the wife is vegetarian).
OOOh, I am going to try this!!
Honey beans...yum! Maybe I'll try this with some butter beans and honey.
