MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

Mamaw's Chicken and Rice Casserole image

I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

⅓ cup warm water
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
chopped green onions for garnish

Steps:

In a bowl, stir together warm water, brown sugar, orange juice, soy sauce, ketchup, white vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, five-spice powder, and orange peel until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat, and cook and stir the chicken until the outside is golden brown and the inside is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover the skillet. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the chicken and sauce are simmering, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the rice aside and keep warm.
Whisk the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl until smooth, and stir into the chicken and sauce, a few teaspoons at a time. Let the chicken and sauce cook for about 2 minutes to thicken, then serve over hot cooked rice, sprinkled with green onion.

MAMA'S CHICKEN AND RICE

Mama's Chicken and Rice image

This recipe was a prerequisite to marrying my husband. I had to be able to make this exactly like my mother in law, or my John could not marry me. It is absolutely delicious and probably takes a year off my life every time I eat it, lol. For real though you have to try this, you will love it! You make the rice separately and can use any kind you like.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (8 ounce) jar Hormel dried beef
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (room temperature)
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cooked white rice
2 tablespoons milk (optional)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prep your 13x9 casserole dish with foil and spray.
Rinse the dried beef slices under cold water and ring dry. Line the bottom of your dish with your slices.
Season chicken with salt and pepper and arrange in the dish on top of the beef slices. Place remaining slices on top of the chicken.
In a seperate bowl mix together cream of mushroom soup with the cream cheese. If this looks a little too thick for your taste add a dash of milk. Only a little at a time though, you don't want it runny. If you have trouble getting the cream cheese to break up all the way put it in the microwave for 30 second intervals until everything creams together smoothly.
Pour this mixture over the chicken, making sure its even. It is actually very important that it is even --
Cover with foil and bake for two hours. It seems long but if you get impatient you can tell the difference. 2 Hours makes this perfectly creamy and the chicken moist.
Serve this over hot white rice and enjoy!
