One of my favorite dishes is Chicken and Rice. I have recently added a few different items to this dish in order to get more veggies in our meals.
Ingredients:
- 6 Chicken Drumsticks, thawed
- 2 Cups of Brown Minute Rice
- 1 14.5oz can of Chicken Broth
- 1 10.5oz Can of Cream of Chicken
- 1 Cup of Frozen Peas, thawed
- 1 Cup of Frozen Carrots, thawed
- 2 Cups of Water
Directions:
Start by preheating oven to 400*. In a 9 x 13 casserole dish, I pour the rice in to cover the bottom of the dish. Then, I add the chicken broth. I place the drumsticks down the middle of the dish and top them with cream of chicken. I surround the chicken with the carrots and peas and mix it into the uncooked rice. Then, I bake it for about 1 hour or until the chicken is done. I typically will add the 2 cups of water after 30 minutes of baking so the dish does not dry out.
This dish is very minimal prep time and is a one dish meal. My toddler loves this meal as well. I pull the skin off the drumsticks and then pull the chicken off the bone for him to eat. It may be a little messy for him, but he enjoys eating it so I am okay with the mess.
I have made this with chicken breast as well, but tried drumsticks a few months back and prefer those now. I have found the drumsticks do not dry out like the chicken breast did.
This is by far my favorite dish! Enjoy!
I just love chicken and rice. I've never seen it made this way so we'll have to put it on our menu for next week!
One staple in our kitchen: chicken breast, cream of mushroom, 1 can of water, salt/pepper, white rice, dash of paprika. Bake for 30min. Presto. Yummy.
It's really good, has always been my favorite meal. This was one my mom used to actually make often and then I recently started adding veggies to it so that it was a one meal dish.
Your version sounds good too, I don't think you can go wrong with chicken and rice!
