This is a place I can organize recipes that my family has tried and likes. I did not make any of these recipes up myself - I am terrible in the kitchen and needed a place to help with my organization. Feel free to use this site and comment on the recipes you try!!

Chicken and Rice

I got this one from my mom, but she got it from her Grandmother Dorriety. I think it is one of everyone's favorites!

Ingredients:
Chicken pieces as desired
1 cup rice
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can french onion soup
1/2 stick of butter
Pimento &/or green pepper (optional)

In glass dish, sprinkle rice over bottom. Add 1.5 cups of hot water. Place chicken in dish, salt and pepper to taste. Spoon soups over contents. Sprinkle peppers and pimentos, if desired. Dot with butter.

Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 1.5 hours.

My 2 cents worth on this:
  • I have done this with all chicken breasts, with all chicken legs, with boneless and bone-in and it all works out great. Depending on the chicken pieces, the time could be shorter to cook.
  • I never salt or pepper my chicken and I never add peppers or pimentos and it is great.
  • The cool thing about this dish is that you have chicken and some yummy rice when you are done. 2 in one.
  • This is great left over so fill the dish up with chicken. Don't worry - it will get eaten!
