EASY BAKED CHICKEN AND RICE IN THE DUTCH OVEN
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.

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
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.

DUTCH OVEN CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Braise the chicken in the dutch oven with some olive oil, about 2 minutes on each side, over high heat. It should be slightly brown. While the chicken cooks, cup up the onion in thin strips and slice the garlic (I think this gives it more flavor). Chop up the parsley and basil, or whatever you have on hand. When the chicken is ready, set it aside and cook the onion and garlic in the oil leftover from the chicken. Scrape the sides a bit so you get all that flavor into it and cook for about 2 minutes until the onions look translucent. Add the tomatoes into the mix and break them up. Add the water, rice, and herbs. Add the chicken back in. Salt and pepper to taste. Bring everything up to a boil, then stick it in the oven for about 45 minutes. Let the dutch oven sit, covered, for about a half hour before serving (I love the way this softens the rice).
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to your dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, broccoli, and potatoes.
- Season your chicken and rice well: This will help to bring out the flavor of the dish. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Let the rice rest before serving: This will help the rice to absorb all of the flavorful cooking liquid.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Some good options include roasted vegetables, a salad, or bread.
