Baked Roasted Chicken Recipe
Serves 6
Ingredients
- Knorr Homestyle Chicken Stock – 1 container
- 6 large chicken breasts or chicken thighs
- 2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup sliced celery
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup chopped chantenay carrots
- 1 tablespoon of garlic
- 2 teaspoons chopped, fresh Thyme
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp of butter
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cup grated Mozzarella/Provolone blended cheese
- salt as desired
- pepper as desired
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- In aย saucepan, boil the rice, celery, carrots, onions, garlic, 1 package of Knorr Chicken Stock, 3 1/2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Cover and let simmer for 18 minutes or until rice absorbs the water and is tender. Fluff with fork to check.
- Melt the butter in a skillet. Season the chicken with salt & pepper, then dust the in flour (light coating) on each side. Saute the chicken for about one minute on each side or until the coating is golden brown.
- Add the milk plus 1 1/2 cups of water. Stir the mixture as it thickens and let it boil for around a minute. A good rule of thumb is to allow the sauce to coat the back of the spoon.
- Spray your dutch oven generously with cooking spray. Layer the bottom of the pan with rice. Pour the chicken and sauce mixture evenly over the rice. Add a layer of cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees or until golden brown.
This recipe makes a creamy, delicious chicken with recipe. The dish is rich so you could actually get away with serving some fresh asparagus or broccoli (our favorites) and cutting the portion size down a bit. We hope that you love this Baked Roasted Chicken Recipe.
Mmmmm I was totally trying to decide what to cook tonight – and this made my decision easy! ๐
Ok I have to follow up and tell you that I made the biggest Chicken Casserole Fail EVER trying to make this tonight ROFL I am SO not a cook, and I messed this up big time. When I put the chicken and flour in, it like STUCK to the chicken before I could pour anything else in, so it was all clumpy. I kept stirring but it didnt do any good. Also, I am at 45 minutes cooking and my chicken is still pink in the middle, so I am not sure if my breasts were too thick or what. I have tasted it and it TASTES ok… but MAN I can sure screw up a dish LOL
Thank you so much for your feedback Lynsey. Apparently I am not as good at the technical aspect of recipe writing as I thought I was. :*( So sorry about that.
I went back over everything with my chef husband and he helped me to re-work the recipe. Now it more accurately describes how we cooked the chicken but more importantly, it was save anyone else from getting a sticky mess.
I really appreciate your honesty. I am so embarrassed that you tried it and it didn’t work the way it did for us.
Stacie, I struggle with boiling eggs some day, so I am CERTAIN it was my error LOL It did TASTE fantastic – both of my girls absolutely loved it. We also have leftover so it is on the menu for lunch today ๐
I am really happy that I able to read this kind of stuff and I appreciate it a lot because of featuring this mouth watery food which is Roasted Chicken Bake. I haven’t try this one but I will one of these days. I’m sure my husband will like it too. Great!
I bet the fresh thyme adds a nice flavor. I’ll have to try it – I love meals that result in left overs!
Stacie, that looks so good!!! I love the pan too. ๐
