CHARLIE CHICKEN



Charlie Chicken image

One of the constant recipes in our house. A very elegant presentation with very little effort. Charlie was a dear friend, and a great cook. I was 13 yrs old the first time I made this, and now @ 30+none-of-your-business, this dish is made at least once a month in my house. Everytime this dish is requested, cooked & tasted, the memories of Charlie fill my house and my heart, bringing him close again. ********* Please note - I no longer use a cut-up fryer as I did in the original recipe. My family is a breast group, with the occasional thigh & legs if Grandkids are coming over...

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 chicken breast halves
1 (3 ounce) box Lipton Onion Soup Mix (2 packets)
3/4 cup water
nonstick cooking spray (Pam, Crisco etc.)
2 (6 ounce) boxes brown and wild rice mix (Uncle Bens Brown & Wild Rice Mushroom Recipe)
4 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup parsley

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°.
  • Using a Non-Stick Spray of your choice, coat a 9x13 casserole dish (a LIGHT rub of vegetable oil will work just as well).
  • Place chicken breasts in dish, barely touching each other- Skin side UP.
  • Pour in 3/4 cup water, allowing it to go around each piece of chicken.
  • Open 2 packets of Lipton Onion Soup & Dip Mix, and sprinkle all over chicken, using the entire packages.
  • Cover & seal casserole COMPLETELY with aluminum foil.
  • Bake at 350° for 60 min or until chicken is tender and completely cooked, (180°when checked with thermometer){See Notes below}.
  • Uncle Bens Brown & Wild Rice Mushroom Directions:.
  • Using Medium saucepan combine rice, contents of seasoning packet, 4 1/4 cups water and 2 tablespoons butter or margarine.
  • Stir well.
  • Bring contents to a boil, REDUCE HEAT (low to medium low) and simmer covered 25 minutes or until water is absorbed.
  • Place chicken on a bed of the Uncle Ben's rice, making sure to get plenty of the sauce that is around the chicken.
  • Sprinkle with fresh chopped Parsley.
  • Enjoy!
  • ***NOTE***.
  • This recipe was originally cooked in an electric skillet at 375° for 1 1/2 hours, with steam vent closed, and NO added water.
  • It always came out moist w/ a fine gravy/sauce. I lost my electric skillet in a house fire, being on SS I never have the $ to get another I liked, so I changed the recipe for the oven. The difference in heat source I guess makes the need for added moisture.
  • Adding the small amount of water makes a gravy/sauce that is super when served as suggested.
  • There are many choices of Uncle Ben's Rice Recipes, choose the one you prefer. I like to add extra mushrooms, or other special touches such as parsley, and sometimes I just use a standard rice pilaf, with tiny chips of veggies.
  • We never make any other side dishes, this is more than satisfying.
  • Do not fuss over finger licking as people continue to pick every bite off the bones.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, gather and measure all ingredients, and ensure all necessary cooking tools and equipment are clean and ready to use.
  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Using fresh, berkualitas baik ingredients will significantly enhance the flavor of your Chicken Emil. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts and flavorful mushrooms.
  • Tenderize the Chicken: Pounding the chicken breasts gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin helps tenderize the chicken, making it more succulent and flavorful.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooking can dry out the chicken and make it tough.
  • Use a Well-Seasoned Skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking and will contribute to the dish's overall flavor.
  • Don't Crowd the Skillet: Avoid overcrowding the skillet when cooking the chicken and vegetables. This will help ensure even cooking and prevent steaming.
  • Deglaze the Pan: After removing the chicken and vegetables from the skillet, deglaze the pan with white wine. This will help dissolve any browned bits and add depth of flavor to the sauce.
  • Reduce the Sauce: Simmer the sauce for a few minutes to reduce it slightly and concentrate its flavors.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Just before serving, garnish the Chicken Emil with chopped parsley or chives for added color and freshness.

Conclusion:

Chicken Emil is a classic Italian dish that combines succulent chicken, flavorful mushrooms, and a rich, creamy sauce. By following the tips and techniques outlined above, you can create a delicious and satisfying Chicken Emil that will impress your family and friends.
