If you eat a lot of jollof rice, it’s normal to get bored of it.

In any African country, there is the possibility that you are eating jollof rice more than three times a week.

Here’s how to elevate your jollof rice so you never get bored of it.

1. Stir fry with boneless chicken

Add Chicken Stir Fry [Cosycook]

Most Africans like to eat their chicken or whatever protein at the end of their meal but this can make the meal boring. It’s much better and tastier if you spice boneless chicken, fry it and use it to make jollof rice, so you eat a piece of chicken with every bite.

2. Add fruits
