Bonnies Mandarin Chicken With Rice So Nice Recipes

AUNT BONNIE'S CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Boil chicken with 1/2 stick butter, salt and pepper --
• After chicken is completely done, drain broth and keep.
• Debone chicken and shred or cut in chunks.
• Butter a 3 quart oven safe casserole, put rice in bottom of dish, lay chicken on top of rice (I always add more salt and pepper at this time) and pour your reserved broth (I even use canned broth if I need more) over rice and chicken -- cut the remaining stick of butter and put on top and put casserole in a 350 to 400 degree oven and cook until rice is done -- if mixture looks dry, pour in more broth and continue to cook. I usually leave in oven for an hour -- Enjoy!

BONNIE'S AMAZING RICE CAKES

Steps:

• This is a very versatile recipe. It is both, a side dish or a complete entrée. You can make the cakes as written with just broccoli, or get creative and add a huge variety of different vegetables, shrimp, bacon, ham, and chicken. Change it up!
• Heat grapeseed oil and sesame oil in medium skillet over medium heat. (You can use olive oil, or peanut oil, too) You can also cook these cakes in an electric skillet.
• Chop broccoli and green onion
• Beat an egg with a fork in a small mixing bowl.
• Add the rice, broccoli, green onions and cheese to the beaten egg in the bowl and mix well. The mixture should be stiff enough to pat with your hands into a couple of cakes about 3 or 4 inches in diameter. If not, add a little more rice to it.
• Fry the two rice cakes in the hot oil. Gently turn when brown and fry the other side. When it is a nice golden brown, remove to a platter and keep warm.
• Here is how it looks! Enjoy!
