Grilled Chicken, Saute onions with spinach and rice

Rice can be cooked in different ways, for me "depending on my mood" :)

Ingredients: [serve one person]
2 pieces of chicken
1/2 onion
1 and half cup of rice
pepper
salt
maggie cubes
spices
vegetable oil
spinach (finely chopped) 
Directions:
for the grilled chicken:
for me I prefer to marinate the chicken for few hours, then parboil a little. Then add a little vegetable oil, [ add few spices if need be] depending on your oven, I grill between 100 - 150 degrees. Allow to grill to your desire.

For the rice and saute onions:
1) Wash the spinach, using food processor finely chop them.
2) Slice the onions, mix it up with the spinach, add a little maggie cube for few minutes. Then in a pan add 2 spoons of vegetable oil, when the oil is hot, add onions and spinach. Keep stirring for about 5 minutes and its ready to serve. 
3) Parboil the rice until half ready, then in a pan add vegetable oil [I don't really wait for the oil to be hot at this stage I proceed] add tomatoes, onions, spices, salt, pepper and fry for about 5 minutes depending on how well fried you want it to be.
4) When it is ready add the rice to the mixture, mix the rice and sauce together add a little water and spices if need be. Low the heat to allow the rice to steam from this point. [ depending on how the rice was parboiled, the rice should take about 15 minutes to get ready.
5) When its ready serve hot and enjoy with the saute onions.
