Family Dinner Ideas

What’s for dinner? Check out this yummy Chicken in the Oven, No Peeking recipe that I am making tonight!

The secret to this dish is  keeping the foil on tight; the foil ensures that all those yummy, classic chicken dinner flavors spread throughout the dish. So, resist the urge to glance in!

What You’ll Need:
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
  • 1 Large family size can of Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix (from a 2-ounce box)
  • 1 soup can cold water
     Coupons
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 chicken (3-1/2 to 4 pounds), cut into 8 pieces
  • Paprika for sprinkling
What To Do:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together rice, soups, soup mix, water, garlic, parsley, and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Press chicken into mixture. Sprinkle with paprika, then cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  4. Bake 1-1/4 hours. Do NOT open cover (not even to peek!) during baking.

Additional Notes

  • Try adding some veggies such as zucchini, carrots, or broccoli to the dish.
  • This is great made ahead and rewarmed in the oven or microwave. For a different taste treat, why not try adding some carrot or celery chunks or using flavored rice? And remember, bottled garlic is a wonderful time-saver.
