CHICKEN AND RICE BAKE NO SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• Clean chicken breasts, pepper to taste, sprinkle paprika over the tops of each breasts. In a 3 quart roaster pan add dry rice and dry onion mix, stir together, add chicken breasts to top of rice mixture. Add sliced mushrooms to top of chicken, pour water over the top, and cover pan. Put into preheated oven 350 degrees. Bake covered for 1 1/2 hours. Serve with salad.
• When mixing the dry rice, and onion mix, also add the soup, and stir together, then pour into the roaster. Chicken still goes on top of the mixture.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Lightly grease a large roasting tray and put in the onion and garlic. Drizzle over the melted butter and give the onion a stir. Bake for 10–15 minutes, making sure it doesn’t begin to burn. Keep an eye on it – if the edges are catching too quickly, take the tray out and give it all another stir before putting it back in.

  While the onion is cooking, rub the drumsticks with the oil and mix the salt, garlic, onion and cayenne in a bowl. Cover the drumsticks all over with the spicy rub.

  Take out the tray of onion and add the rice and cardamom seeds. Stir the rice into the onion mix and put the drumsticks on top. Pour in the stock. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

  Take out of the oven, lift the chicken drumsticks on to a side plate, then add the peas to the rice and lightly stir them through. Replace the chicken pieces and bake without the foil for another 15 minutes.

  Stir in the chopped coriander and serve.
