Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups peeled diced carrots (about 3-4 medium carrots)
3/4 cup diced celery (about 3 stalks)
1/2 cup diced onion (about 1 small onion)
4 cups chicken broth (I use low sodium)
2 cubes chicken bouillon or 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon paste or granules (optional (see note))
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons herbs de provence (see note)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2-3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups milk or half-and-half or a combo (see note)
3-4 cups cooked chopped chicken
Shredded parmesan, asiago or gruyere cheese, for topping (optional)
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • For the soup, in a 4-quart or larger saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery and onion. Pour in the broth and add the chicken bouillon, bay leaves, parsley, herbs de provence, turmeric, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, uncovered or partially covered, for 12-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • For the roux, while the soup simmers, in a small saucepan, add the olive oil and butter and cook on medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the flour and whisk to combine until a smooth paste forms. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the milk (and/or half-and-half) to the soup and heat through. Add the roux to the soup and cook, stirring or whisking constantly, over medium heat until the soup thickens and gently simmers, 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken, season to taste with salt and pepper (this is important for flavor!) and heat through.
  • Remove the bay leaves and serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan, asiago or gruyere on top.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

bread crumbs
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste
2 cups cooked white rice
2 cups ranch dressing
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup slivered almonds
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup crushed potato chips, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Spread bread crumbs into a wide, shallow bowl. Press chicken breast halves into bread crumbs to coat. Gently pat chicken to let any loose crumbs fall away. Place coated breasts onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in hot oil to brown completely, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Spread rice into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Arrange browned chicken breasts atop the rice.
  • Mix ranch dressing, celery soup, mozzarella cheese, and almonds together in a bowl; pour over the chicken and rice, assuring the chicken is covered completely. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the ranch dressing mixture and top with crushed potato chips.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown on top and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
