"COMPANY'S COMING" RICE



It just doesn't get much easier than this fool-proof rice sidedish. It won't look like much when it goes in the oven, but trust me, it comes out perfect every time. I've been making it for holiday dinners for years. It takes 5 minutes or less to throw together and can go in the oven with those other last minute dishes or prepare it ahead and reheat in the microwave at serving time if oven space is a problem. Note: The original recipe called for 1/2 cup butter but I found that to be excessive.

COMPANY CHICKEN AND RICE



Company Chicken and Rice image

Created this 40 years ago, rice was cheap and filling and we were broke! It turned out to be one of the overall family favorites and was made for special occasions and "Company". I still get requests to make it. It can be made totally from scratch or with shortcuts, like canned chicken broth and a rotisserie chicken.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 whole chicken breasts with bones
1 c butter
6 c water
1 medium onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped
1 stalk celery chopped, leaves and all
dash(es) s & p
4 clove chopped garlic, separated
2 c white long grain rice

Steps:

  • 1. boil the chicken breasts in the water with 1/2 of the chopped garlic and all celery until fully cooked, drain and reserve the liquid/broth. Allow the chicken to cool. You can do this the night before if you want to.
  • 2. Add 4 cups of broth to a pan, add rice and bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer, cover the pan. Simmer until the rice is cooked and tender.
  • 3. add 1/2 cup butter to large skillet add the onion, green pepper S&P, remaining garlic and start to saute.
  • 4. Shred the chicken breasts from the bone and chop into bite size pieces place in the large skillet with the veggies. (electric skillet works great for cooking and serving)
  • 5. Add remaining 1/2 cup butter and cooked rice to the chicken. You may want to add more broth if it is dry.
  • 6. Here is the easy method replacements - You may use instant rice which cuts down on the cooking time. (follow the box directions but use broth not water) Use a rotisserie chicken meat picked from the bones, 3 cans of chicken broth (or a large container) The butter adds such a delicious flavor I would keep that in the recipe.
  • 7. Gently stir and allow the flavors to mingle for about 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley or thyme.

  • Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice before cooking helps to remove the starch, which can make the rice sticky.
  • Use the right amount of water: The amount of water you use to cook the rice is important. Too much water will make the rice mushy, while too little water will make the rice dry.
  • Cook the rice over low heat: Cooking the rice over low heat is important to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: Fluffing the rice with a fork before serving helps to separate the grains of rice and make it look more appealing.
