Turkish Chicken Pudding is a traditional dessert originating from Turkey. Although the concept of adding chicken to a dessert may seem strange, it is more common in other parts of the world than you might think. It has a creamy, comforting flavor that is light and delicious. The addition of cinnamon brings out the sweet and savory flavors of the pudding and provides an extra layer of warmth. This dessert is perfect for sharing with family and friends, and it is a unique way to showcase your culinary skills.

Instructions

1.	In a medium-sized pot, cook the chicken with the rice and water until tender.
2.	Add the milk, sugar, and cinnamon to the pot and simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes, stirring often.
