Provided by karenstl

Number Of Ingredients 20

CREAM SOUP SUBSTITUTE:
1/3 cup powdered milk
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
LIPTON ONION SOUP SUBSTITUTE:
1/4 cup dried onion flakes
2 tablespoons beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS:
3 cups water (or use chicken stock instead of water and chicken soup base)
1 teaspoon chicken soup base or bouillon granules
1 cup uncooked white rice
6 chicken thighs, skinless (feel free to use your favorite chicken parts or a cut up whole chicken)
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • In one bowl, combine the cream soup ingredients and in another bowl combine the onion soup ingredients. Spray a 9"×13" baking dish with cooking spray and place the uncooked rice across the bottom. Combine the water and chicken soup base (or use an equivalent amount of chicken stock) with 1/2 of the onion soup. Pour over over the rice. Place the chicken parts throughout the pan with the pieces not touching. If you use chicken with skin on it, place the skin side up. Sprinkle the remaining onion soup substitute over the chicken. Then pour the cream soup substitute on top of the chicken, evenly distributed among all of the pieces. Sprinkle all with paprika. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and chicken is done (poke a piece of chicken in the fattest part with a fork and press down...if the liquid comes out pink, keep cooking).

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your chicken rice bake. Choose a flavorful chicken, such as free-range or organic, and use fresh vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a flavorful rice: A long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, will give your chicken rice bake a light and fluffy texture. If you are using white rice, be sure to rinse it well before cooking.
  • Don't skimp on the seasonings: Season your chicken rice bake generously with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in a chicken rice bake. Use a flavorful cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella.
  • Bake it until it is golden brown: The chicken rice bake is done when it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Chicken rice bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken rice bake that is sure to please everyone at your table.
