DIJON-BAKED CHICKEN WITH RICE AND BROCCOLI

If you forget to marinate this overnight, don't worry; it's still great if you cook the chicken in the sauce as soon as you make it. It's just better when it marinates.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 to 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1 tablespoon curry powder
3 tablespoons frozen chopped onions
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon Asian-style hot chili sauce (can be chili-garlic sauce)
1 1/2 cups basmati or white rice
3 cups water
5 cups frozen broccoli florets
1/8 teaspoon your favorite supermarket-style seasoning mix

Steps:

  • The night before: Unravel thighs to flatten and scrunch together in a large shallow oven-safe pan. Combine the following in a small mixing bowl in this order: spices, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and hot chili sauce. Stir. Pour evenly over chicken. Flip the chicken around with a fork until each piece is well coated. End by making sure the rough side of the thigh is down. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine rice and water in a larger oven-safe pot. Stir. Cover and place in preheated oven.
  • Turn chicken over with a fork. Place in preheated oven, beside rice. Set timer for 50 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time for chicken, I like to flip the chicken over again. When the timer rings for chicken, turn off heat but leave it in the oven.
  • Rinse broccoli in colander. Place in a microwave-safe pot or casserole dish with lid. Cover, then microwave at high for 5 minutes. When timer rings, add seasoning mix to broccoli.

CHICKEN BROCCOLI RICE AND CHEESE CASSEROLE



Chicken Broccoli Rice and Cheese Casserole image

3/18/13. I've updated this recipe to include alternate choices for the canned chicken the original recipe called for. Lately, I've been using store bought rotisserie chicken. I've seen a lot of recipes for broccoli, cheese and rice casseroles. However, this takes it from a side dish to a main meal casserole. It fills up the sink with dirty dishes, but that is the only draw back. You can make umpteen variations to customize the taste to your liking. I will offer substitution possibilities in the instructions.

CHEESY CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND RICE CASSEROLE



Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice Casserole image

I made this chicken and broccoli casserole for my wife and two young boys and they just loved it. It was very flavorful and creamy.

Provided by BAIN77

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups water
1 ½ cups uncooked instant rice
2 large cooked chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade not only adds flavor to the chicken, but it also helps to keep it moist and tender. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: If you're using a small baking dish, cook the chicken in batches. Overcrowding the dish will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli is best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen broccoli if you don't have any fresh on hand.
  • Cook the rice according to package directions: Be sure to cook the rice according to the package directions so that it's cooked through but not overcooked.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy, such as a teriyaki sauce, a ginger-soy sauce, or a honey-garlic sauce.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The chicken will be moist and tender, and the broccoli will be crisp-tender.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken with broccoli and rice is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful sauce, then baked until it's cooked through. The broccoli and rice are cooked separately, then combined with the chicken and sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
