Pantry Cleaner

Chicken, Rice, & Whatever you can find
This one was something I found when I had looked in the freezer and the pantry and needed to clear some things out. You can sub a few different items in this one and add or subtract as you choose. 

Things you will need:
1 Cup White Rice                                     1 1/2 Cups Chicken Broth
1 can Cream of Mushroom                       1 can Cream of Chicken
2 Tbl Butter Melted                                  1 tea paprika
Other Seasonings as seen Fit                    Chicken

I usually use bone in chicken for this one, but you can use boneless chicken breasts too. The timing will change if you use boneless chicken. The original recipe calls for water, but i like it better with chicken broth. I also usually double this up to get more rice and flavor in the mix. The amount of chicken is limited on how much can fit in the pan.

Turn on your oven to 350 and spray a 13 X 9 baking pan.

In a large bowl stir together the rice, soups, and chicken broth. This is where you can add in different seasonings as you adjust it to your individual tastes. I usually peek in the cupboard and see what is available. Once you have everything mixed together you can transfer this to the baking dish.

Place the chicken in the pan making sure to keep the top side exposed. You can then drizzle the melted butter over the exposed chicken pieces and then finish off with the dusting of paprika. I like the smoked paprika right now.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes.  If you use boneless chicken breasts, reduce your cooking time to 45 minutes covered and 20 minutes uncovered. Always make sure to check your temperatures on your chicken.
