Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons of oil
6 drumsticks (mix and match with thighs, wings if desired)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1/3 cup of homemade sofrito
2 garlic cloves (minced (optional))
1/4 cup of cilantro (chopped (optional))
4 oz of tomato sauce
1-2 packets of Goya Sazon packet
2 bay leaves
1/2 tablespoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon of adobo (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of long grain rice
2 1/2 cups of chicken broth (or water with 2 teaspoons of chicken bullion)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, season your chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano. Let sit for ten minutes.
  • Into a large heavy bottom caldero or dutch oven pan, heat your oil over medium high heat. Then add in your chicken. Brown both sides of chicken, about 3-4 minutes per side. Next, add in everything except for the rice and broth. Mix it all together, and allow to cook for about three minutes.
  • After three minutes, stir in the rice, allow the rice to absorb all of the sauce for about 1-2 minutes before adding in the broth. Stir rice and broth together, allow it to come to a light boil, for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Once you're able to see the grains of rice just at the surface, you will lower your heat to medium low, COVER your pot, and let it cook for 20-30 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, check on your rice, if there is still any liquid or your rice isn't as soft as desired, let it cook an additional 5-10 minutes. Once liquid is absorbed and rice is soft, remove from heat, let it sit for 5 minutes before giving it a GENTLE fluff with a fork, then serve immediately.

MAMAW'S CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE



Mamaw's Chicken and Rice Casserole image

I grew up on this recipe, my Grandmother got it from a lady from church at a pot luck a long time ago! She passed it down to my mom and it's always been a family favorite. Quick and easy for school nights, and the leftovers are just as good! You can use less butter on top of course, my Momma and Mamaw always put the full stick on top (gotta love Southern ladies and their butter!)

My recipe that I have used for many years. Very good and creamy. You could even use reduced fat soup and margarine if wanted. Some people have melted cheese over the top. We don't care for it that way though.
