MRS. WALKER'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE FROM THE 1960S

Steps:

• Roll chicken in seasoned flour and saute in butter until golden brown.
• Mix soup, minced onion and seasonings in a saucepan.
• Gradually stir in 2 cups water.
• Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Add 1 cup Uncle Ben's converted rice [it's better not to substitute this].
• Pour into 2-quart casserole dish. Top with sauteed chicken. Cover and bake.
• Check in 30 minutes and if rice is too dry, add more water.
• Bake another 30 minutes. Let rest 5-15 minutes.
• You can substitute vegetable flakes or celery seed for the celery flakes - but your family will love this so much, it'll be WORTH keeping celery flakes on hand.
• Also, you can use skinned chicken breasts and just fry those up - to speed up preparation.

SKILLET GARLIC CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet (one with a lid) over medium heat. Add onion to the pan and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, about 5-6 minutes or until translucent.
• Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add the rice and saute for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, or until lightly browned and toasted.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, onion powder, and pepper. Season chicken on both sides, and set aside.
• Nestle the chicken into the rice and add 3 cups of the chicken broth, careful not to pour over the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook undisturbed for 20 minutes. Resist the temptation to lift the lid as it will release steam which is necessary for cooking the rice.
• Remove lid and give it a good stir. Pour in the remaining cup of chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and red pepper flakes if using. Cover and cook another 10-15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. If rice is not done, continue to add small amounts of chicken broth until tender.
• Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh minced parsley if desired.

• Cover and cook on high for 4-6 minutes or until milk is steaming (do not boil). Stir in rice.
• Cover and let stand for 2 minutes.
• Add the chicken, soup, croutons, chilies and 1/2 cup cheese.
• Cover and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes or until heated through, stirring once.
• Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

• Heat the oil over high heat in a casserole and place the chicken legs, skin side down, in the hot oil.
• Fry for 5-6 minutes or until the thighs are golden and turn them. Fry for another 5-6 minutes to brown the other side and remove from the container.

• In the casserole where we previously cooked the chicken, add garlic and onion to the pan and cook until the onion pieces are transparent.

• Add the chicken legs back to the casserole, skin side down, over the rice. Put a lid on and wait for it to boil.
• Cook for 35-40 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked. Stir from time to time to prevent the rice from sticking.
