Provided by Amanda

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound chicken tenderloins or thin chicken breasts
1 ½ cups long grain white rice
4 cups chicken broth or stock (divided)
1 medium onion (diced fine, about 1 cup)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 teaspoons garlic powder (divided)
2 teaspoons salt (divided)
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet (one with a lid) over medium heat. Add onion to the pan and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, about 5-6 minutes or until translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add the rice and saute for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, or until lightly browned and toasted.
  • Meanwhile, combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, onion powder, and pepper. Season chicken on both sides, and set aside.
  • Nestle the chicken into the rice and add 3 cups of the chicken broth, careful not to pour over the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook undisturbed for 20 minutes. Resist the temptation to lift the lid as it will release steam which is necessary for cooking the rice.
  • Remove lid and give it a good stir. Pour in the remaining cup of chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and red pepper flakes if using. Cover and cook another 10-15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. If rice is not done, continue to add small amounts of chicken broth until tender.
  • Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh minced parsley if desired.

MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE



Mamaw's Chicken and Rice Casserole image

I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, is best for this recipe. It cooks up light and fluffy, and won't stick together.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your casserole will taste. Look for fresh, juicy chicken breasts, and use a flavorful broth. You can also add other vegetables to the casserole, such as carrots, celery, or peas.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts are very easy to overcook, so be careful not to cook them for too long. Otherwise, they will become dry and tough. Cook them until they are just cooked through, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the casserole rest before serving: Once the casserole is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the casserole to set.

Conclusion:

This chicken and rice casserole is a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. It's made with simple, everyday ingredients, and it's packed with flavor. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover chicken. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chicken and rice casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
