Chick O Rice Recipes

CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Prepare rice according to package directions.
• When rice is ready, add chicken to pot and continue to stir over low heat. Mix in soup, and continue cooking until heated through.

CHICKEN AND RICE PAPRIKASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the chicken in a 3-quart glass or ceramic baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, bell peppers and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water. Stir in the sweet and hot paprika and cook for 1 minute; add the tomato paste and cook another minute, stirring. Add the chicken broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate. Spread the rice in the bottom of the casserole dish and top with the chicken and its accumulated juices. Pour the sauce over the whole mixture. Bake until the casserole is heated through and the top is browned lightly, 40 minutes. Top with the chopped parsley and serve with a dollop of sour cream.

CHICKPEAS AND RICE

Steps:

• Cook water, rice, thyme, and bay leaf and set aside.
• Heat olive oil and half of the butter in a skillet and then add chickpeas.
• When chickpeas start to lightly brown (about 5 mins) add parsley and the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Add oregano, basil, salt, and pepper and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and mix rice and chickpeas together until rice is a golden color.
• Mix in remaining butter (cubed) and Parmesan cheese.

CHICKEN BREASTS ON RICE

• Stir together soup mixture, rice, 1/2 package onion soup mix, and mushroom pieces.
• Pour into baking dish.
• Lay chicken pieces on top.
• Pour 1/2 cup reserved soup mixture over chicken, and sprinkle remaining 1/2 package soup mix over all.
• Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour. (NOTE: takes longer when using brown rice).
• Uncover and bake additional 15-30 minutes (Stir rice when uncovering.).

SINGAPORE CHICKEN RICE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Crush 3 cloves of garlic and 2 pieces of ginger, and place them into the cavity of the chicken. Tie the green onions into a knot, and place them into the chicken along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Carefully submerge the chicken breast side down into the water.
• Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let stand covered for 40 minutes, turning the chicken over half way through.
• While the chicken is cooking, heat the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Fry the shallots, ginger, and garlic in the oil until fragrant. Add cilantro and rice, and cook, stirring until toasted. Pour in chicken stock and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender and 'steam holes' appear in the surface of the rice, about 20 minutes.
• When the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the pot, and place under cold running water to tighten the skin. Rub the outside with sesame oil, and chop into pieces. Place pieces on a serving platter, and garnish with cilantro, green onion, cucumber and tomato. Serve with rice.

EASY CHICKEN WITH RICE

Steps:

• Set 3 cups of water to boil. Place olive oil in a large skillet that can be covered, and turn heat to medium-high. Add onions and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and become translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove skin from chicken.
• Add rice to onions; stir until each grain glistens; sprinkle with saffron, and stir. Nestle chicken in rice, add a little more salt and pepper and pour in the boiling water. Turn heat to medium-low, and cover.
• Cook 20 minutes, until all water is absorbed and chicken is cooked through. (You can keep this warm over a very low flame for another 15 minutes; it will retain its heat for 15 minutes beyond that.) Garnish and serve with lemon or lime.
