chicken dinner ideas: CHICKEN AND RICE DINNER

Quick and easy dinner ideas are great when you live busy lives and need a plan of action to get meals completed. All you need to do is take a little time to do a little planning ahead with the purchase of all the ingredients you need that will allow you to quickly adapt to any situation during peak dinner. The following ideas are a great base to start.
Many quick and easy ideas for dinner include chicken breasts. The chicken can be cooked and jumped into the olive oil and can also add a can of cream of mushroom soup for flavor and sauce.
I want to make a quick chicken salad on pita things for a quick dinner. I always shredded chicken in my freezer for this, but you can also use canned chicken, add chopped tomatoes, a little poultry seasoning, mayonnaise and chopped onions. We supplement our Monterey Jack cheese. This makes a quick meal when you have to take the kids to soccer practice or other place to go after dinner.
Ingredients

  • 1 chicken, lg. enough for your whole family
  • Some butter or margarine
  • Salt and pepper
  • Rice - I prefer Uncle Ben's boil-in-bag style (enough for your family)

Wash chicken. Put several pats of butter or margarine on skin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 1 hour. Baste chicken after 30 minutes. Rice - follow directions on boil-in bag rice - its quick, easy and delicious. Gravy - when chicken is done, remove it from the pan. Heat drippings over medium heat on stove. Thoroughly mix 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup of water. Gradually add this to chicken drippings as they boil. You may not need all the flour and water mixture, mix to taste. Boil slowly for 10 minutes on low. Serve hot.
