EASY BAKED CHICKEN AND RICE IN THE DUTCH OVEN

Easy baked chicken and rice in the Dutch oven image

This is another absolutely delicious and easy recipe for the dutch oven. We got the recipe out of the Lodge "Camp Dutch Oven Cooking 101"-from Backyard to Backwoods. We loved it so much, that not only did we make it while camping last week, we also made it last night outside at home here. It's truly comfort food.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 or 6 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
1 c rice (we used brown rice)
1 pkg dry lipton onion soup mix
1 can(s) chicken broth
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 can(s) water

Steps:

1. Preheat your dutch oven for about 10 minutes. Then spray with cooking spray. Use a 10 inch dutch oven for this recipe. assemble your ingredients
2. Pour the rice on the bottom of the dutch oven. Place the chicken over the rice, then sprinkle the onion soup mix over the chicken. Mix the mushroom soup mix, the broth and about 1 can of water together and mix. Pour this mixture over all. Cover the dutch oven and cook for at least an hour. You might need to cook it longer--the meat fell off the bone-so good!
3. Place 14 coals on the top of the oven and 7 underneath the oven. You might need to have some extra hot coals ready just in case you need them. as you can see, we loved the dinner so much that we devoured the whole thing. (Not too good for a girl on WW, but I just couldn't help myself.)

SIMPLY OVEN BAKED PORK CHOPS OR CHICKEN AND RICE II

Simply Oven Baked Pork Chops or Chicken and Rice II image

This is an updated version of DH's bachelor days recipe, that I posted in 2005. When I first met him, the only spices he owned was Tony's, garlic salt and salt and pepper. This is the recipe that has evolved from the original. It's still a basic recipe...just a lot more flavor. As with all my recipes, feel free to change it up to suit your family's tastes. Note: You can season the rice with salt and pepper. We do it at the table.

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 -4 pork chops or 4 chicken thighs
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (I use Healthy Request)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth
1 cup white rice (uncooked)
1/2 cup onion, coarse chop
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

Season pork chops with pepper, seasoning salt and garlic powder.
In a skillet, sauté onions in butter and oil until limp.
Remove onions to a 2 quart casserole.
Quick sear pork chops in same skillet.
Remove chops to a platter.
De-glaze pan with a little chicken broth and add to casserole.
Stir in in rest of the broth along with rice and soup.
Place chops on top and sprinkle with paprika.
Cover and bake at 350* for 1 1/2 hours until rice is done and liquid is absorbed (check at 1 1/4 hours).

Tips:

For the best results, use a Dutch oven or a large pot with a tight-fitting lid.
If you don't have a Dutch oven or a large pot with a lid, you can use a roasting pan or a baking dish, but you may need to add a little bit of extra liquid to the recipe.
If you want to make the dish ahead of time, you can cook the chicken and rice separately and then combine them before serving.
You can also freeze the cooked chicken and rice for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours, and then heat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
This dish is very versatile and can be customized to your liking. For example, you can add different vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or broccoli, or you can use a different type of rice, such as brown rice or wild rice.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked chicken and rice is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
