Adobo Chicken

Ingredients

• Chicken breasts or thighs, cut up
• 8 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Smashed
• ½ cups Soy Sauce (If Using Kikkoman, Use Low-sodium Soy Sauce)
• ½ cups Vinegar
• ½ cups Water
• 1 Tablespoon Packed Brown Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Sweet Chili Sauce (or An Additional Tablespoon Of Brown Sugar)
• 1 teaspoon Black Peppercorns, Half Left Whole, Half Slightly Cracked
• 2 whole Bay Leaves

Directions

Add the chicken with all of the ingredients in the pot it will be cooked in. Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes, and up to overnight.

When ready to cook, put the pot on the stovetop and bring to a boil over medium heat. (Start rice around this time as well). Once boiling, lower the heat slightly and cook, covered, for about 15 minutes. Remove the cover. Flip the chicken pieces and continue to simmer, uncovered, to reduce the sauce, lowering the heat if necessary. If the sauce is too thick or too salty, add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of water. After about 8 minutes, flip the chicken again. Taste the sauce again and add more water if needed. Don’t worry if you accidentally add too much water—the simmering will take care of that.

Continue to simmer until chicken is fully cooked and has released its oils into the sauce, and the sauce has thickened slightly and taken on a rich, dark brown color.

Serve over rice. To cook rice, put rice in saucepan and add 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place saucepan uncovered over high flame and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally. Let water reduce slightly and then lower the flame, place lid on the saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes. Do not remove cover while cooking. Fluff with fork and serve.

Creamy Chicken

• 5 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup(can use cream of mushroom), undiluted
• 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
• 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled or 4 tablespoons real bacon bits

Place chicken in a crockpot. Combine soup and sour cream in a bowl; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender. Sprinkle with bacon. Serve over rice or noodles

I gave you each two cups of rice to make in rice cooker or on the stove top.

*If you are cooking the chicken from frozen you may have to cook longer then 4-5 hours. I usually cook all day-(at least 6-7) on low when I cook from frozen. Also depends on your crockpot.

Combine rice with chicken and vegetables and serve in bowls.

Chicken on Sunday

4 Chicken Breasts/few chicken tenders-Frozen-Whatever fits!
2 Cans Cream of Chicken
3 Cans of Milk
2 Cups of Rice-uncooked
1 Pkg of Onion Soup Mix

Put your rice in a 9x13, mix your soup with your 3 cans of milk(using a can from your cream of chicken). Pour over your rice and then plunk your chicken in the casserole dish making sure that they have been cover by the soup mixture as best as they can. Now take the onion soup mix shake it so it is all mixed up and cover the top of the casserole with the mix.(If you happen to have an extra mix on hand we think it is yummy to add it to the soup mixture-when thawed, or half the package and had half to the soup mixture and half to the top of the casserole.) Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350 for 2 hours. Then take the foil off at 2 hours and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes depending on your oven. Make sure the rice is fluffy and the chicken is done. We call it Chicken on Sunday because mom and dad would put it in before we left for church on Sunday, and when we returned we would eat it!

To reheat:

Make sure you do not thaw chicken!
Just thaw the soup mixture.
Layer in a 9x13 casserole dish- rice, soup mixture, chicken, onion pkg, foil, 350 2 1/2 hour. See instruction above for full details about cooking.
