CHICKEN RICE CRUST PIE

Steps:

• Prepare your pie plate with cooking spray and set aside.
• Cook rice according to your package directions.
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl beat your egg with a fork.
• Add rice and pepper. Stir until totally blended together. All of your rice should have a slight yellow color to it.
• Press into your pie plate. Press hard enough that the crust is firm against the bottom and sides of your pie plate.
• Sprinkle cheese all over the bottom of the crust and bake for about 20 minutes.
• Make sure all of the cheese is melted. Remove from oven and set aside. Leave your oven on.
• In a large skillet place your oil, over medium to medium high heat, until it shimmers or a drop of water flicked in it dances.
• Add chicken and stir until brown, between 4 and 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and reduce your heat a little.
• Add more oil if necessary and allow it to heat up. When ready, add mushrooms and stir.
• After a few minutes add your onions and stir until onions are tender.
• Add peppers and garlic. Keep stirring for between 1 and 2 minutes. You do not want the garlic to burn.
• Sprinkle flour and Italian seasoning over top of mushroom mixture. Stir for a few minutes.
• Add white wine, cooked chicken and chicken broth. Stir until incorporated.
• Taste your mushroom mixture and add as much salt and pepper as needed.
• Simmer mushroom mixture for about 5 minutes. Mixture should thicken up.
• Add Parmesan cheese and stir until totally blended.
• Remove from heat and pour mushroom mixture into your prepared rice crust.
• Press down on the mixture and smooth over the top as best you can.
• Sprinkle your fried onions over top of your pie. Try to cover the entire top of the pie.
• Last thing you need to do is add your shredded cheese to the top of your pie. Use as much cheese as you like. We try to make sure that the entire top of the pie is covered.
• Bake for 35 minutes. You can broil for a minute or two at the end to brown your cheese more if you desire. Let stand for at least 5 minutes, if not 10. Serve and enjoy!

THE BEST CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the chicken with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook undisturbed until the skin is golden but not too dark, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate using a metal spatula and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet.
• Add the carrots, celery and shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not yet turning golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook just until you begin to smell the garlic, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook undisturbed until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine, then add the chicken thighs back to the pan, skin-side up. Bring the liquid to a boil then cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the lid from the pan and broil until the chicken skin is crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives.

Cook half of chicken until no longer pink, 1 to 2 minutes per side; cut into cubes and transfer to medium bowl. Repeat with additional 1 tablespoon butter and remaining chicken.
• Add flour and remaining butter to empty skillet and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in rice, broth, and cream and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, until rice is nearly tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in peas and carrots, scallions, and chicken, along with any accumulated juices.
