Chicken And Thyme Casserole Recipes

LEMON THYME CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a medium sized sauce pan over low heat, whisk together all of the soup ingredients. Let simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened (will be the consistency of a creamed canned soup), about 15 minutes.
• While soup is simmering, prepare chicken. Cut chicken in half horizontally, so that you have four pieces, ~1/2 inch in thickness. In a small sauce pan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Once melted, add olive oil, garlic, and shallot. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, then set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter bottom and sides of a 3.5 quart baking dish (9x13 dish will work).
• Stir together cooked soup, rice, lemon zest, thyme, and chicken broth. Pour into prepared baking dish.
• Nestle chicken down into rice. Cover exposed areas of chicken with butter/shallow mixture. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
• Remove foil. Stir rice well (avoid touching the top of chicken). Bake for another 40-45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

PAN-SEARED CHICKEN WITH THYME

Steps:

• Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge both sides of chicken pieces in flour.
• Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. When oil starts to shimmer, add the chicken. (If the chicken browns too quickly, reduce heat.) Cook, turning as needed, until chicken is browned on both sides, is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 4 or 5 minutes total on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
• In the same pan, reduce heat to low and add thyme sprigs and cook until aromatic, 1 or 2 minutes. Increase heat to high; pour in Swanson® Chicken Stock and wine. Stir up browned bits to deglaze the pan. Add the chicken bouillon granules and mix well. Reduce heat to medium and cook until sauce reduces and is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
• Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Add to the pan any accumulated juices from the tented chicken plate. Finish the sauce by whisking in the cold butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon sauce over chicken before serving.
