What's for Dinner? Baked Chicken and Wild Rice

I couldn’t find a baked chicken and wild rice dish that did not include canned soup of some kind, so I made up my own.

2/3 cup uncooked wild rice blend
1 small can mushrooms
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 cup chicken broth
2 T soy sauce
2 T regular Mrs Dash plus extra for the chicken (or your favorite seasoning blend)
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces and skinned
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13” pan with cooking spray.

In a small bowl mix rice, mushrooms, celery, broth and seasoning.

Pour rice mixture into prepared pan; place chicken on top. Sprinkle additional Mrs Dash over the chicken. Cover with foil.

 

 

Bake 1- 1 1/2 hours or til rice is tender. Uncover and let sit 10 minutes.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d170/d447/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

This sounds so good. I sure wish you could just take it out and put it on my table. I think I like your cooking better.

Shannon, Late yesterday my husband and I picked another dozen or so bell peppers and most were of good size. We also brought in many green tomatoes, enough for maybe three meals of fried green tomatoes, and of course we have so many jalapeno and banana peppers we can't possibly use them all. We give a lot of them away. Sure wish I had your chicken dish to go with some fried green tomatoes about RIGHT NOW !

This is just great! We can't eat most canned soups.

I love it, but I am looking at lynn's jalapeno's and I am thinking wouldnt it be good if you took your meal and added jalapeno's to it. And then shreded the chicken, and stuffed some bell peppers with the mix of rice, chicken and peno's.. Oh god I need to learn how to cook!

Move over, mama! *Grabs a plate and plops his butt down at the dinner table* I want me some of this. I've got chicken breastessez in the freezer and some wild rice in the cupboard, but since you have it already made; I ain't gonna have to cook!!! (Okay, so I'll eat AFTER a few more cocktails.)

Sarah (I want points) Nov 2, 2007, 9:09pm EDT
That's look yummy! I had a frozen stoffer's mac and cheese. I'm husbandless tonight so... it was lovely!

We had baked chicken thies (sp), Janet had yam, I had baked potato, and we had cranberry jellied sauce and corn.
Victoria H. Nov 2, 2007, 11:10pm EDT
Man, this looks and sounds most excellent. I want some!!
I would add tumeric and lots of whole mushrooms with 1/4 cup of sherry to this.
I love this non soup chicken & rice recipe!

Oh my, I love wild rice!
☃ Aunt Shanny Nov 3, 2007, 9:16am EDT
Lynn, mail me some jalapenos.

That is a great idea, though, Melb.

Joy, I love the idea of adding sherry! I think that would work perfectly.

Thanks, all!
lynn a. Nov 3, 2007, 9:51am EDT
I like what Melb said too. Last night I was lamenting the fact I didn't really know how to add another meat stuffed into the bell peppers. I am going to try this. We have so many frozen already. I'd like to use some of these fresh. A person can only eat so many stuffed peppers. Us, one at a time. I'll still be freezing at least 10 or a little more. Could black olives fit in here anywhere?
☃ Aunt Shanny Nov 3, 2007, 9:53am EDT
Black olives fit just about anywhere! I love 'em!

And I may take the leftover chicken and shred it to make a chicken salad. I was just hungry for that for some reason.

Beverly P. Nov 5, 2007, 8:04pm EST

☃ Aunt Shanny Nov 5, 2007, 10:01pm EST
Thanks!
Elaine A. Nov 7, 2007, 1:38pm EST

Leah Christensen Nov 12, 2007, 6:13pm EST
That sounds really REALLY good!
☃ Aunt Shanny Nov 13, 2007, 1:50pm EST
Thanks, all!

Kristy, both of those sound great!
Sheri P. Nov 30, 2008, 5:07pm EST
This recipe sounds perfect. I don't like recipes with the canned soups, either!
Marianne M. Jan 5, 2009, 12:02pm EST
Just saw your wild rice recipe, Shan ... it's another one of my "favorite foods!" I love the nutty flavor!
☃ Aunt Shanny Jan 5, 2009, 12:13pm EST
WOW! How did you find this old timer?
Ava's Mom (formerly known as Robiyah) Jan 5, 2009, 12:46pm EST
Probably because it was linked to her story ... her dinner on Saturday night at Katie's.
