1 chicken, cut into 8 pieces (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bell peppers (1 yellow, 1 red) seeded, cored and thinly sliced

AWESOME CHICKEN AND YELLOW RICE



Awesome Chicken and Yellow Rice image

This is one of my staples and it is often requested. There is a lot of garlic in this, but it does not overpower. Served with good bread and a salad, it can't be beat. I use the packaged Vigo yellow rice mix for ease. Also, because this cooks for awhile, use either chicken thighs, legs or quarters to keep from drying out. Find the whole garlic cloves and spread them on your bread. I use a paella pan with a lid or you can use a casserole dish that you cover with foil.

TOO TIRED, & BROKE, YELLOW RICE AND CHICKEN



Too Tired, & Broke, Yellow Rice and Chicken image

This is another recipe shared with me by my southern gentleman friend, he said his mama always used to make this for him, it is his ultimate comfort food. It's easy to keep the (2) ingredients on hand, for those nights when you just want to throw something together that everyone will eat and enjoy. It's particularly nice when you're too broke to do much, and kids love it! The "yellow" comes from the saffron in the rice. If you look in the rice section, you will find there are a few different brands of yellow, or saffron rice, it's usually in a "tube" shaped package rather than a box, & it is simply called "Yellow Rice" on the package. If you have more than 2-3 people, you may want to double it. Instead of canned chicken you can also use a cup or so of shredded or diced leftover chicken. The container sizes are approximate as I didn't have any on hand & I was going from memory, of course you could vary it by adding vegetables, cheese, whatever, but this is the easiest preparation. Apparently this "recipe" is just too easy for some; I hesitated to even put it on here because it is so basic, but sometimes it's nice to have an easy recipe that might otherwise allude us just because of it's simplicity. After all, if someone would not have shared it with me, I wouldn't have thought of it. I was accused of not putting enough information on this recipe, but I'm not really sure what other information they need, that I could include to make this ANY easier. However, I did go ahead & elaborate on the already Very simple instructions below as best as I could. I hope it's ease does not discourage other people from trying this, it really is This simple, which is why there is not more information provided.

CHICKEN AND YELLOW RICE SOUP



Chicken and Yellow Rice Soup image

This recipe answers the question "How can I make a tasty meal from those leftover rotisserie chicken pieces?" In my house the breast is eaten first, often leaving wings, thighs and legs to congeal later in the fridge. These are not easy to deal with. Cold rotisserie chicken hangs on to its bones and skin with tenacity. This soup comes to the rescue. After a half-hour simmer in chicken broth, the meat practically falls off the bone and the skin is easy to remove and discard. The soup has a rich flavor and is easy to make. It also solves the problem of what to do with those four still-firm-but-whiskery carrots at the bottom of the crisper drawer. If you can get the mild green (spring) garlic, slice and add a whole head of that including the tender green stem. If not, regular garlic cloves are fine.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 -12 chicken pieces, from leftover cooked chicken
2 minced garlic cloves
3 green onions, sliced
4 carrots, peeled, split into 4 long pieces, then cut into 1 inch lengths
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 (6 ounce) package yellow rice (I used Mahatma brand)

Steps:

  • Separate and place the chicken pieces in a 3 quart or larger pot. Discard the wing tips.
  • Add the garlic, onion, carrots and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add the package of yellow rice and stir well.
  • Turn down to a simmer and cover.
  • Simmer for 1/2 hour until rice and vegetables are tender.
  • Serve in wide bowls, including some broth. This is practically a meal in itself.
  • People can easily remove the bones and skin from the chicken pieces in their bowls, or if you prefer, you could take the chicken pieces from the cooked soup and remove bones and skin before serving, returning the chicken meat to the soup.

CENTRAL AMERICAN YELLOW RICE AND CHICKEN



Central American Yellow Rice and Chicken image

Delicious AUTHENTIC rice recipe from an experienced AUTHENTIC central american cook! I use this side dish for family gatherings and special occasions. This recipe was handed down to me from my grandmother and hope you enjoy it as much as I do! It calls for PARBROILED rice not regular long grain rice. It is better to use parbroiled as it will not become all mushy and pasty as regular rice does when you make the mistake of adding too much water (as many of us rice cooks do!). I reccomend using chicken breast and not any other dark chicken meat because when you shred dark meat, you get really ugly dark parts and it looks kinda disgusting when served with rice (or any other side dish for that matter). Chicken breast comes out white and clean. When it comes to adding the curry powder, I usually add about 3 tablespoons because I like my rice to come out a nice darker yellow color and I enjoy the taste of curry but it may not suit your palate. You should taste the rice broth as you add the curry to determine if you have added enough curry to suit your taste buds. Don't forget to salt your rice DURING cooking time! If you notice that the water that you added to cook the rice has absorbed and the rice is still a little hard then don't worry and add another 1/4 cup water and extend cooking time about 10 min or until water has been absorbed. You can also add small shrimp to this recipe to give it a little seafood twist (it also tastes great!).

CROCK POT CHICKEN AND YELLOW RICE

This is a very easy recipe, and my family loves it! You can use less rice if you have a smaller family. I use a larger roaster chicken, but you can use a smaller regular size chicken.

CHICKEN AND YELLOW RICE



Chicken and Yellow Rice image

This has been a favorite in my family for years. It is the most requested meal of my kids & their friends. I like to double the recipe and freeze one to have on hand for a quick supper. Also, I use a rice cooker to make the saffron rice. Just put in the water, rice, and butter, push the button and it is perfect every time and ready when you need it to assemble the casserole. I also use the lower fat sour cream and mayo, but prefer the regular cream of chicken soup, not the lower fat version. Kids and adults will enjoy this recipe. My daughter and her boyfriend were home from college over the holidays and were headed out the door to go out to dinner...until I said "Okay, but I made Chicken and Yellow Rice"....they exchanged glances and turned around and join the rest of the family for dinner....
