Creamy Chicken Rice Pot Piecasserole Recipes

CREAMY CHICKEN AND RICE RECIPE (A ONE-POT MEAL)

Steps:

• Using a dutch oven or heavy bottom pot with tight fitting lid, over medium/high heat, add 1/4 cup olive oil and 2 Tbsp unsalted butter. Once butter is melted and hot, stir in diced onion, grated carrots and 1 tsp salt. Sautee until soft and golden (8-10 min).
• Add trimmed, chopped chicken thighs, 2 bay leaves, another 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally until chicken is golden on all sides (5 mins).
• Increase the heat to high and add 1 cup white wine. Boil down the wine, scraping the bottom until most of the wine has evaporated.
• Add the hot chicken broth, then stir in the rice.
• Without separating the cloves (leaving the root end intact), slice the end off a whole head of garlic to expose the garlic cloves. Set the whole head into the center of your rice, sliced side down. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until rice is fully cooked (15 mins).
• Turn off the heat, remove garlic head (you can either push the cloves of garlic out into the rice and eat it or discard it) and quickly stir in remaining 2 Tbsp butter until fully incorporated. Finally, stir in chopped parsley and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. It should be creamy. Serve right away or leave the lid on to keep it warm until serving. Garnish with more fresh parsley to serve.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the salt and the thyme. Cook until the onion softens, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rice and carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth and evaporated milk and stir in the chicken, the remaining salt and the black pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Stir, cover with a lid and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring so the rice doesn't stick to the pot.
• Stir in the peas and add more chicken broth or water if the mixture is too thick. Sprinkle with the cheese and cover with the lid to melt the cheese, and serve.

• For Pot Pie Crust.
• After step 4, while filling is warming to a simmer mix the Bisquick, Milk, Sage and Thyme. After pouring the hot filling into your pan spread the top with your Bisquick mixture. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes uncovered or until Bisquick crust has risen and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 min before serving.
• ***Cooks Note***.
• Play with the recipe and make it your own. If you and yours like garlic (like we do!) add some to the filling mix and the Bisquick crust mix to your liking. We have also added onion powder, red pepper flakes if you like some heat, mixed the cheese in and still used the Bisquick crust. Really your imagination is your limitation. :o) If you don't have time for baking you could serve this right out of your 5 qt pan once heated through and the frozen veggies hot. We have done this too on those busy, got to get there nights.
• Wishing you and yours a hearty enjoyable meal!
• *** All ovens cook differently, the times given are a good rule of thumb but make sure you check periodically while baking to see what time frame works in your oven).
