Chicken recipe?

When I worked in a doctor's office one of the doctors was of middle eastern descent I believe and one day he brought in a dish his wife made. It was spicy shredded chicken with rice and there were little pieces of pepper and jalepenos and things I believe. It was wonderful. Anyone have a recipe that might be similar to this I could try?Chicken recipe?
Spicy chicken and rice (middle eastern)





You need





2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


4 large chicken thighs with skin and bones (about 2 pounds)


Ground cloves





1 1/2 cups diced seeded red bell peppers


1 cup chopped onion


1/3 cup golden raisins


1/3 cup coarsely chopped pitted imported green olives


4 small bay leaves


2 garlic cloves, peeled


1 teaspoon hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek) or 1 small serrano chile, chopped


1 1/2 cups jasmine rice or long-grain white rice (9 to 10 ounces), rinsed, drained


2 to 2 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth








to cook:





Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken generously with salt and pepper, then lightly with ground cloves. Add chicken to skillet and saut茅 until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate.





Pour off all but 4 tablespoons fat from skillet. Add bell peppers, onion, raisins, olives, bay leaves, garlic, and chili paste to skillet. Saut茅 until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add rice; stir 1 minute. Press chicken into rice. Add 2 cups broth; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender, adding more broth if dry, about 20 minutes.
