Start by chopping green beans.

Place the whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces, into a large pot.

Add chopped garlic and sauté it in oil until fragrant.

Add the chicken to the pot and sauté until browned.

Add assorted vegetables including fresh oregano, celery, and parsley to the pot.

Chop the potatoes into thirds and add them to the pot first, as they take longer to cook.

Add chopped squash with the skin on for flavor.

Add corn to the pot for flavor.

Pour in boiling water until it covers the chicken.

Bring to a boil and then add rice, measuring 1 tablespoon of rice per person for a total of 8 tablespoons.

Add the chopped green beans almost at the end of cooking to keep them vibrant green.

Season with salt to taste.

Let everything simmer until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
