EASY BAKED CHICKEN AND RICE IN THE DUTCH OVEN
This is another absolutely delicious and easy recipe for the dutch oven. We got the recipe out of the Lodge "Camp Dutch Oven Cooking 101"-from Backyard to Backwoods. We loved it so much, that not only did we make it while camping last week, we also made it last night outside at home here. It's truly comfort food.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat your dutch oven for about 10 minutes. Then spray with cooking spray. Use a 10 inch dutch oven for this recipe. assemble your ingredients
- 2. Pour the rice on the bottom of the dutch oven. Place the chicken over the rice, then sprinkle the onion soup mix over the chicken. Mix the mushroom soup mix, the broth and about 1 can of water together and mix. Pour this mixture over all. Cover the dutch oven and cook for at least an hour. You might need to cook it longer--the meat fell off the bone-so good!
- 3. Place 14 coals on the top of the oven and 7 underneath the oven. You might need to have some extra hot coals ready just in case you need them. as you can see, we loved the dinner so much that we devoured the whole thing. (Not too good for a girl on WW, but I just couldn't help myself.)
DUTCH OVEN CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Braise the chicken in the dutch oven with some olive oil, about 2 minutes on each side, over high heat. It should be slightly brown. While the chicken cooks, cup up the onion in thin strips and slice the garlic (I think this gives it more flavor). Chop up the parsley and basil, or whatever you have on hand. When the chicken is ready, set it aside and cook the onion and garlic in the oil leftover from the chicken. Scrape the sides a bit so you get all that flavor into it and cook for about 2 minutes until the onions look translucent. Add the tomatoes into the mix and break them up. Add the water, rice, and herbs. Add the chicken back in. Salt and pepper to taste. Bring everything up to a boil, then stick it in the oven for about 45 minutes. Let the dutch oven sit, covered, for about a half hour before serving (I love the way this softens the rice).
Tips:
- Use a large Dutch oven. This will ensure that there is enough space for the chicken and rice to cook evenly.
- Brown the chicken before adding the rice. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
- Use a long-grain rice. This type of rice will cook more evenly and will not become mushy.
- Add enough liquid. The rice will need about 1 1/2 cups of liquid for every cup of rice. You can use water, chicken broth, or a combination of both.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. This will help to prevent the rice from boiling over.
- Cover the pot and cook the rice for 18-20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time, or the rice will not cook evenly.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes. This will allow the rice to finish absorbing the liquid.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Dutch oven chicken and rice is a simple and delicious one-pot meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the rice is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
