1/2 cup black beans

  • Pre-heat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with 3 sheets of foil (about 6-8 inches) and set aside.
  • Combine the brown rice, water and 2 tablespoons taco seasoning in a medium bowl and soak for 5 minutes. DIvide rice (and it's water) into 3 sheets of foil.

FOIL-PACKET RICE WITH CHORIZO AND CHICKEN



Foil-Packet Rice with Chorizo and Chicken image

Frozen rice is a versatile shortcut ingredient and the key to these flavorful foil packs. The rice is layered in while still frozen to provide a buffer of time that keeps it from overcooking. As the rice thaws, the other ingredients start cooking and lightly char and then the rice can absorb all the bubbling liquids and rendering inside the pack.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups frozen cooked white rice
1 yellow or red bell pepper (or 1/2 of each), thinly sliced
2 links fully cooked chorizo, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives, halved if large
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 12 pieces total
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium. Toss the rice, bell pepper, chorizo, olives, tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the scallions, reserving 2 tablespoons of the green parts for topping.
  • Tear off four 18-inch-long sheets of heavy-duty foil. Divide the rice mixture among the foil sheets. Add the chicken to the empty bowl along with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the paprika, oregano, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Put the chicken on top of the rice mixture (3 pieces per packet). Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal, then fold in the sides to form packets.
  • Grill the foil packets, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Remove from the grill and let stand 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Carefully open the packets. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and reserved scallion greens.

DIJON-BAKED CHICKEN WITH RICE AND BROCCOLI



Dijon-Baked Chicken with Rice and Broccoli image

If you forget to marinate this overnight, don't worry; it's still great if you cook the chicken in the sauce as soon as you make it. It's just better when it marinates.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 to 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1 tablespoon curry powder
3 tablespoons frozen chopped onions
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon Asian-style hot chili sauce (can be chili-garlic sauce)
1 1/2 cups basmati or white rice
3 cups water
5 cups frozen broccoli florets
1/8 teaspoon your favorite supermarket-style seasoning mix

Steps:

  • The night before: Unravel thighs to flatten and scrunch together in a large shallow oven-safe pan. Combine the following in a small mixing bowl in this order: spices, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and hot chili sauce. Stir. Pour evenly over chicken. Flip the chicken around with a fork until each piece is well coated. End by making sure the rough side of the thigh is down. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine rice and water in a larger oven-safe pot. Stir. Cover and place in preheated oven.
  • Turn chicken over with a fork. Place in preheated oven, beside rice. Set timer for 50 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time for chicken, I like to flip the chicken over again. When the timer rings for chicken, turn off heat but leave it in the oven.
  • Rinse broccoli in colander. Place in a microwave-safe pot or casserole dish with lid. Cover, then microwave at high for 5 minutes. When timer rings, add seasoning mix to broccoli.

CHICKEN DIJON



Chicken Dijon image

This one-skillet Chicken Dijon includes a zesty, creamy sauce with sweet sliced onions, fresh herbs, and a touch of honey.

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 boneless skinless chicken cutlets ((about 6 ounces each))
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 tablespoon each chopped fresh parsley, thyme and rosemary, plus extra for garnish
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir in butter.
  • When the butter is foamy, add the chicken cutlets to the pan. Cook until the chicken is browned on both sides and the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165° F, about 3-4 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan, so brown the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside while you make the sauce.
  • Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken broth to the skillet; use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, so that the liquid reduces by about half.
  • Reduce heat to low, whisk in the cream, Dijon and honey. Cook for a few more minutes to let the sauce thicken. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Return chicken to the skillet; garnish with additional fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

If you're looking to grill something besides burgers and dogs on your next campout, this low-fat chicken dinner will do the trick.
