CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SLOW COOKER DINNER



Chicken and Wild Rice Slow Cooker Dinner image

I found this on a card supplied at the butcher's counter at Harris Teeter Grocery. The only change I made was to omit the marjoram leaves due to personal preference but I've added it back to the recipe as an option here. If you don't have bone-in chicken breasts you can use bone-in chicken thighs (about 10 thighs or 3 1/2 lbs). Remember to remove the skin of the chicken and any really visible fat deposits.

30 MINUTE CHICKEN AND RICE DINNER BY ACCIDENT



30 Minute Chicken and Rice Dinner by Accident image

Basically it's a Campbell's chicken and soup recipe that I had tweaked. I had 4 hungry friends over and no real food or money since where in college (this is a cheap dinner to make and easy to double good for big families). All I had on hand was chicken and rice and mushroom soup. Lucky I had a few spare items on hand. I didn't like the idea of chicken just sitting there in cream of mushroom soup for an hour in the oven with rice. So I tweaked it with white wine and made it on the stovetop we couldn't wait an hour. With the brown bits it made the greyish looking soup into a pretty golden color and the garlic woke everything up. The Uncle Ben flavor rices are awesome--when you're in a pinch I totally recommend them. You can also use egg noodles--it makes it a bit more richer. Ever since then, I get this request about twice a week and people still don't believe its cream of mushroom soup--who knew !

CHICKEN AND RICE SKILLET DINNER WITH A KICK



Chicken and Rice Skillet Dinner with a Kick image

With the corn, black beans and picante sauce, this recipe is so colorful ... and tasty. I didn't have any canned chicken, so I cooked up two chicken breasts and it worked perfectly. This dish is a little spicy, but not overpowering. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.

Provided by Cecelia Anderson

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 10 oz. cans of canned chicken breast, drained
1 can(s) 10.5 oz chicken broth
1 c mild pace picante sauce
1 tsp cumin
1 Tbsp olive oil (I prefer)
1 c minute rice (or any brand instant rice)
1 c black beans rinsed and drained
1 c frozen whole kernel corn
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
  • 2. Add the rice and cook and stir until its golden.
  • 3. Stir in broth, picante sauce and cumin and heat to a boil. Cover and cook for 15 minutes
  • 4. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the canned chicken, beans, and corn. Top with cheese and cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  • 5. Burrito Variation: Do steps 1 to 3. Then for step 4 omit the beans and corn and cook the drained chicken with the rice mixture for 5 minutes. In a hot skillet place one tortilla in pan and heat about 10-15 seconds per side until warm and flexible. Place tortilla on a plate; add a portion of the chicken, and rice mixture and top with cheese. Make sure all ingredients are near the middle of the tortilla. Starting from the end closest to you, fold tortilla just over the middle, covering the filling. Carefully fold in both side of the tortilla over the filling, then finish folding to the end, wrapping it all up.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make your chicken and rice dinner taste better. Look for organic, free-range chicken and flavorful rice, such as basmati or jasmine.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken before cooking helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • Cook the rice perfectly: Rice is a key component of this dish, so it's important to cook it properly. Follow the instructions on the package of rice you are using, or use a rice cooker for foolproof results.
  • Season the dish well: Don't be afraid to season your chicken and rice dish liberally. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good starting points. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to your chicken and rice dinner. Use a variety of vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Chicken and rice is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, steamed broccoli, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken and rice is a classic dish that is easy to make and enjoyed by people of all ages.
