My mother found this recipe on the can of cream of chicken soup about 35 years ago. She used to make it for Sunday dinners and it was a family favorite. I don't know if the name is made up or if it was the original name on the can of soup. I have seen and tasted similar versions to this, but this is the original and best tasting. It may be a tad more prep time, but well worth the effort. Ingredients:
6 lbs frying chicken |
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine |
5 tablespoons dried onion |
2 tablespoons dried parsley |
2/3 cup flour, seasoned with |
salt and pepper |
1 teaspoon dried celery flakes |
1/4 teaspoon thyme |
1 teaspoon paprika, and additional |
paprika, sprinkled for garnish |
2 2/3 cups water |
2 2/3 cups minute rice |
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup |
Directions:
1. For easy and quick cooking, mix all your spices into a prep bowl.
2. Season flour with salt and pepper.
3. Melt butter or margarine into a deep frying pan.
4. Dip chicken into flour to coat it.
5. Brown chicken until slightly brown.
6. Remove chicken to platter while cooking additional chicken.
7. After frying all the chicken, loosen all the bits of browned bits in frying pan with spoon.
8. Add two cans of cream of chicken soup.
9. Add 2-2/3 cups of water also and mix well.
10. Add all the spices and let come to a slow boil.
11. Turn off flame.
12. Remove about 2/3 of a cup of this soup mixture for later.
13. Pour soup mixture into your baking dish or pan that is oven proof.
14. Mix rice into soup mixture until completely mixed.
15. Lay chicken pieces on top of rice placing legs and wings to the outer edge so the bigger pieces cook better in the middle.
16. Pour the reserved 2/3 cup of leftover soup mixture sparingly over the top, covering all the chicken pieces.
17. Sprinkle a tiny amount of paprika onto chicken and cover dish.
18. Bake on 350 degrees for one hour and uncover the last 10-15 minutes of baking time.
19. Absolutely delicious comfort food!
