CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion and celery until the onion is slightly tender, about 3 minutes; stir in mushrooms, and cook 1 more minute, stirring often. Mix in the package of rice mix and water; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Mix the golden mushroom soup, sour cream, and curry powder together in a bowl. Stir about 1 1/2 cup of the soup mixture into the rice, reserving 1/2 cup of soup mixture for later. Spread the rice mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, and arrange over the rice. Cover the chicken thighs with the reserved 1/2 cup of soup mixture. Sprinkle the casserole with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

• *Remove any excess fat from chicken breasts. Rinse & pat dry with paper towels. Slice crosswise into strips 1 inch wide. Place in a bowl, add the 2 tbsp lime juice, and toss to coat. Set aside for about 15 minutes. *In a saucepan (pref. nonstick), combine the water and the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a rapid boil and gradually add the rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover and barely simmer just until tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover, fluff with a fork, and re-cover until serving. *Dry the chicken pieces with paper towels. In a large saute pan or frying pan (pref. nonstick) over medium-high heat, warm 1 tbsp each of the butter and olive oil. When hot, add half the chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and saute until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a warm plate. Add the remaining 1 tbsp each butter and oil to the pan and cook the remaining chicken. Transfer to the plate. *Pour off most of the fat and place the pan over low heat. Add the onion and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the curry powder and saute for 2 minutes longer. Stir in the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom; cover and simmer over low heat for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk or cream and continue to cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken to the pan, stir to coat well, and heat through. Adjust the seasoning with more lime juice or salt and pepper. *Toss the rice with the parsley. Arrange the rice in a ring around the edge of a warmed platter.
