Directions

1

I don't know if this is what you were thinking of for cinnamon chicken, but here goes anyway. I have made this and prefer it to beef cholents. As I am not a cholent maven, that may not be a great recommendation, but its really quite good. Iraqui Cholent

Method. Put everything into a crockpot and cook overnight for Shabbat lunch. I find that I put the rice near the top of the pile of ingredients, to help it from getting totally mushy. I havn't done the following, but some cholent and hamin recipes put the rice into a bag before cooking the dish. Perhaps this would help too.
