CHARLIE CHICKEN



Charlie Chicken image

One of the constant recipes in our house. A very elegant presentation with very little effort. Charlie was a dear friend, and a great cook. I was 13 yrs old the first time I made this, and now @ 30+none-of-your-business, this dish is made at least once a month in my house. Everytime this dish is requested, cooked & tasted, the memories of Charlie fill my house and my heart, bringing him close again. ********* Please note - I no longer use a cut-up fryer as I did in the original recipe. My family is a breast group, with the occasional thigh & legs if Grandkids are coming over...

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 chicken breast halves
1 (3 ounce) box Lipton Onion Soup Mix (2 packets)
3/4 cup water
nonstick cooking spray (Pam, Crisco etc.)
2 (6 ounce) boxes brown and wild rice mix (Uncle Bens Brown & Wild Rice Mushroom Recipe)
4 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup parsley

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°.
  • Using a Non-Stick Spray of your choice, coat a 9x13 casserole dish (a LIGHT rub of vegetable oil will work just as well).
  • Place chicken breasts in dish, barely touching each other- Skin side UP.
  • Pour in 3/4 cup water, allowing it to go around each piece of chicken.
  • Open 2 packets of Lipton Onion Soup & Dip Mix, and sprinkle all over chicken, using the entire packages.
  • Cover & seal casserole COMPLETELY with aluminum foil.
  • Bake at 350° for 60 min or until chicken is tender and completely cooked, (180°when checked with thermometer){See Notes below}.
  • Uncle Bens Brown & Wild Rice Mushroom Directions:.
  • Using Medium saucepan combine rice, contents of seasoning packet, 4 1/4 cups water and 2 tablespoons butter or margarine.
  • Stir well.
  • Bring contents to a boil, REDUCE HEAT (low to medium low) and simmer covered 25 minutes or until water is absorbed.
  • Place chicken on a bed of the Uncle Ben's rice, making sure to get plenty of the sauce that is around the chicken.
  • Sprinkle with fresh chopped Parsley.
  • Enjoy!
  • ***NOTE***.
  • This recipe was originally cooked in an electric skillet at 375° for 1 1/2 hours, with steam vent closed, and NO added water.
  • It always came out moist w/ a fine gravy/sauce. I lost my electric skillet in a house fire, being on SS I never have the $ to get another I liked, so I changed the recipe for the oven. The difference in heat source I guess makes the need for added moisture.
  • Adding the small amount of water makes a gravy/sauce that is super when served as suggested.
  • There are many choices of Uncle Ben's Rice Recipes, choose the one you prefer. I like to add extra mushrooms, or other special touches such as parsley, and sometimes I just use a standard rice pilaf, with tiny chips of veggies.
  • We never make any other side dishes, this is more than satisfying.
  • Do not fuss over finger licking as people continue to pick every bite off the bones.

CHICKEN A LA CRANBERRY



Chicken a la Cranberry image

For this riff on the French bistro classic duck a l'orange, chicken legs are seared to golden-brown perfection before being roasted with leftover cranberry sauce enlivened with shallots, sherry vinegar, and chicken broth. The result is a simple yet luxurious sweet-and-sour dish fit for a fancy dinner party but also quick enough for a weeknight supper.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 whole chicken legs (about 2 1/2 pounds), patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, minced (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 cup Classic Cranberry Sauce or store-bought cranberry sauce
1/2 cup homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high; swirl in oil. Add chicken in a single layer, skin-sides down. Cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet; reduce heat to medium. Add shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar and boil 30 seconds. Add cranberry sauce and broth; simmer until reduced and thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Return chicken, skin-sides up, and any accumulated juices to skillet. Spoon enough of cranberry mixture over each leg to coat.
  • Transfer to oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest parts of chicken (nearest but not touching bones) registers 165 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Spoon remaining cranberry mixture evenly over chicken; serve.
