Gmas Chicken Tomatoes And Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add chicken strips and cook until they are just done (4 to 6 minutes).
• Add onion, red pepper slices, and fresh garlic.
• Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until vegetables barely tender (4 to 5 minutes).
• Add water, tomatoes, and rice.
• Cover pan and continue cooking until mixture just comes to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking until rice is tender or liquid is absorbed (about 10 minutes).
• Remove cover; stir in basil leaves and Parmesan cheese. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Brown chicken in butter or oil in skillet for about 5 minutes.
• Add green pepper and the onion ; saute until soft but not brown, Add tomatoes and water. If using the liquid from canned tomatoes, cut down amount of water. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.
• Add 1 cup rice, salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Makes 4-6 servings.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Trim excess fat from thighs. Wash and pat dry. Season moderately with pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Pour sherry over top. Remove chicken to a plate. Drain excess fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons drippings in the skillet.
• Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet and saute over medium heat until onions are translucent and peppers have softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice and saute for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and saffron; bring to a boil.
• Remove from the heat and lay chicken thighs in a single layer over the rice mixture.
• Bake, covered tightly, in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
• When the casserole has about 5 minutes left, melt remaining tablespoon butter in a skillet. Add tomato slices and saute until heated through.
• Place a tomato slice on top of each chicken thigh, then sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until chicken juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients and place in 9 x 13 pan.
• Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
• This is a great use for leftover rice.
• Optional: Sprinkle a little Mrs. Dash on the top for added flavor.
• Try different veggies, or add things like mushrooms, etc. for a different twist.

Steps:

• Open the tomatoes and strain the juice into a measuring cup. I usually get one cup of juice from two cans.
• In a 3-qt sauce pan partially melt the butter and add the rice. Mix the rice with the butter and saute 3-4 minutes on medium heat, stirring every 45 seconds or so.
• Add the reserved juice from the tomatoes and enough water to equal a total of 3 1/3 cups of liquid (the amount of water is from an Uncle Ben's package, so please check the cooking directions on your rice and adjust accordingly).
• Using medium-high heat add the oil and onions to your favorite skillet, cooking until translucent.
• Add the garlic, tomatoes, and chicken. Sprinkle on the curry powder and add 1/4-1/2 cup of water to the skillet. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for approx 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently to coat the chicken with the liquid.
• Remove the lid from the chicken and allow sauce to reduce as it simmers.
• When rice has about 3-4 minutes of cook time left add it to the skillet and stir all ingredients together. I like to add a little more curry powder and red pepper flakes at this stage also.
• When the rice is at your desired texture the dish is ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degree. Combine undiluted soup, water, rice, 3/4 tsp dill, and black pepper in a 13x9 dish, mix well.
• Remove skin from chicken pieces, discard skin.
• Arrange chicken pieces on top of rice mixture. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, bake for 45 minutes.
• Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat, remove from heat. Add crushed crackers, paprika, and remaining dill to butter. Stir until blended.
• Sprinkle cracker mixture on top of chicken pieces, bake (uncovered) until chicken is tender and rice cooked (approx. 5-10 mins longer). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
