Homemade Chicken Dishes

 

   From this basic Stewed Chicken and Broth Recipe below, a multitude of recipes can be made.  Here are a few of those our family enjoys.

Chicken Brunswick Stew, Chicken and Noodles,

Chicken and Rice Soup, Chicken and Dumplings, and

Chicken Pot Pie

all begin with this simple ‘Stewed Chicken and Broth’ recipe as a base.  Try this Chicken Rice Casserole made with chicken tenders.

Stewed Chicken and Broth

Ingredients:

  • 1 (3 – 5 pound) chicken
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 onion quartered
  • 3 celery tops
  • 3 sprigs of fresh parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 8 – 10 peppercorns
  • 2 – 1/2 teaspoons salt

Directions:

    Place chicken in a stockpot, add water and the remaining ingredients.  Heat to boiling and turn down to a simmer for 1 – 1 1/2 hours, until the meat is tender and starts to fall off the bone.

    Strain the broth and set it aside.  Pull the chicken from the bones, removing the skin and bones.

*  This is my base recipe for chicken pot pie, homemade chicken and noodles, chicken and dumplings, chicken rice soup, etc.  If I have excess broth, I put it in a freezer bag, lay it flat in the freezer, freeze and use it to flavor rice or use it in another recipe.

Chicken and Rice Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°

Casserole Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons Butter
3 Tablespoons Flour
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 cup Milk
8 cooked and sliced cooked Chicken Tenders*
1/2 cup Slivered Almonds
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup sliced Carrots – (Cooked in a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of water until crisp-tender.                         Cover with a lid when it comes to a boil.)
1/2 – cup soft Breadcrumbs (1 slice of bread, processed)
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese

*Cooked Chicken Tenders

Season 8 Chicken Tenders with salt, pepper, and seasoning salt on one side. (I use “Tastefully Simple” Seasoned Salt.)

 Season the chicken tenderloins

Heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet, add the meat, seasoned side down, sear on one side, and allow to cook halfway through.

Season the top side and turn it over.  Lower the heat and cook through.  This will only take a few minutes.

Remove the chicken to a plate.

 

Make The Sauce

Melt the butter in the same skillet used to cook the tenderloins, leaving the drippings from cooking.  Add the flour and thyme.  Cook, stirring for 1 minute.

 

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and the milk.

Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce is thickened and smooth.  
Stir in the chicken pieces.

Assemble The Casserole

Spread the cooked rice in a 2-quart casserole dish, which has been sprayed with non-stick spray.

Layer the peas and the sautéed carrots evenly over the rice.  Sprinkle the slivered almonds on top of the carrots.

 

Spread the chicken mixture over the vegetables.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the chicken mixture.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and toss with the breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the cheese.

Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°.
