Empty Cupboard/Fridge Special image

We've all had that day - food in the house is running short. You can't get to the grocery store for whatever reason. You need something hearty for dinner. This was my solution on one of those days.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless
1 (19 ounce) can tomato soup (creamy style)
1 cup rice (white, long grain)
1/2 teaspoon basil, dried and minced
1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried and minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder (or to taste) (optional)
2 bouillon cubes, chicken flavor
1/4 teaspoon sazon seasoning (1 packet)
1 1/2 cups water
4 tablespoons olive oil
black pepper

Steps:

  • Thaw chicken breasts (if frozen).
  • In a medium pot, combine water, creamy tomato soup, bullion cubes, and 1 tsp of the olive oil. Bring to a boil.
  • While waiting for the pot to boil, heat a medium saucepan with the remaining oil over medium heat.
  • Dice chicken breasts into 1/2 inch cubes.
  • Once water/soup mixture is boiling, add rice and reduce heat to low, so that the rice mixture barely simmers.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients (except the chicken, minced garlic, salt and black pepper) to the rice and stir thoroughly.
  • Add chicken and minced garlic to saucepan and cook thoroughly. Near the end of the cooking, add salt and black pepper.
  • Once the chicken has cooked thoroughly, drain off most of the excess oil, but be careful to keep the minced garlic in the pan.
  • Add chicken to rice mixture.
  • Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes (cooking time may vary, depending on the stove) until the rice is tender.
  • Fluff rice and serve hot.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the ground beef for lentils. The dish turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as well as I expected. The vegetables were undercooked, and the sauce was too thin.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs, and it was much better.
