Easy baked chicken and rice in the Dutch oven image

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.

1 can(s) chicken broth
1 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 can(s) water

Steps:

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.

  • 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.)

Simply Oven Baked Pork Chops or Chicken and Rice II image

This is an updated version of DH's bachelor days recipe, that I posted in 2005. When I first met him, the only spices he owned was Tony's, garlic salt and salt and pepper. This is the recipe that has evolved from the original. It's still a basic recipe...just a lot more flavor. As with all my recipes, feel free to change it up to suit your family's tastes. Note: You can season the rice with salt and pepper. We do it at the table.

DUTCH OVEN CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Dutch Oven Chicken and Rice Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by lindaauman

Number Of Ingredients 9

Chicken thighs (I used 8, but I freeze half of this)OR 4 breasts
2 cups water
1 can of crushed tomatoes (the 12 oz) or Rotel tomatoes
1 cup rice
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
Olive oil (about 2 tablespoons)
Fresh herbs (I used parsley and basil)
Salt and pepper to taste

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:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts work best. The bones and skin add flavor to the dish, and the meat stays moist during cooking.
  • Use a flavorful rice: A long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine rice is a good choice for this dish. These rices have a light, fluffy texture and a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with the chicken.
  • Season the chicken and rice well: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season the chicken and rice. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to leave some space between the chicken pieces and the rice in the pan. This will allow the air to circulate and help the chicken and rice to cook evenly.
  • Bake at a high temperature: Baking the chicken and rice at a high temperature will help to create a crispy, golden-brown crust on the chicken and tender, fluffy rice.

Conclusion:

This oven-baked chicken and rice is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the rice is fluffy and tender, and the vegetables are roasted to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
