Works for me. If you've not boned a whole chicken before it can seem daunting. Just take your time.
In the cooler months I like brown rice, wild, cremini or white mushrooms with toasted almonds or pine nuts to play up the nutty notes in the rice. I'll often make a white wine sauce with a little sage for this.
In warmer weather I'll go for a lighter flavor finish: the brown rice with garlic and ginger, finely diced dried (but reconstituted) peach or apricot, toasted pine nuts or minced pecan, with a sauce of pomegranate, stock, thyme and butter.
Lots of possibilities.
