Cream of Chicken With Rice
Cream of chicken is cooked using cans of cream of chicken and cooking it down with cut-up chicken breast(or tenders) and cooked down fresh or frozen vegetables and a serving of any type of rice on the side I use Goya Canilla Golden Parboiled Rice! It should serve around 4-5 people. I usually make this every 2 months for my family it's easy to make and honestly super cheap to make! Also as a bonus, it's a great dish to make during the winter! Warms you right up.
What You Will Need
2 packs of chicken tenders
two bags of frozen veggies(you can use fresh if wanted)
oil(I use Wesson corn)
Chicken broth
4 small cans of cream of chicken
A stick of butter
All-purpose flour
chili powder
onion powder
Clasico
white pepper
garlic and pepper seasoning
soy sauce
Prepare the Chicken
To prepare the chicken grab a cutting board and cut the chicken into small strips or cubes, Make sure they're not too small you just want good-sized chunks. No need to use seasons yet that comes later after you cooked down the veggies and added the cans. Make sure to watch your fingers!
Start the Rice
If you don't already know how to make rice it's easy! First, you grab a pot with a lid, then you pour a good amount of rice into it. Now, this is the most important step! Wash your rice it makes a big difference to the taste. After you have washed your rice you then fill the pot up enough to cover your water. Put the lid on the put the fire to high, once it starts to boil turn down the flame and just let it simmer. After a few more minutes the rice should be fluffy and done, make sure to move it off the burner so it doesn't overcook.
Cooking the Chicken
First, grab a large pot and cover the bottom of it with oil. After it heats up you can throw your chicken in the pot with a light amount of garlic and pepper seasoning and add a tablespoon of butter. Make sure you don't cook the chicken all the way only lightly brown it or else your chicken will come out rubbery.
Adding the Veggie's and Cream of Chicken Cans
Once the chicken is lightly browned you can add the two bags of veggies with 2 tablespoons of butter and let that cook down for 4 mins, make sure to stir constantly. then add the 4 cans of cream of chicken. Once they start to de-solidify stir it all together and pour in a cup of chicken broth and constantly stir.
Seasoning
Now you can throw in the seasonings, you can use
1Tbsp of chili power
2Tbsp of onion powder
1Tbsp of Clasico
1tsp of white pepper
and 3Tbsp of garlic and pepper seasoning
and 2 sprits of soy
Rember you don't have to use these seasoning these are just the ones I use. If you want a basic version use, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley. Oh and low sodium soy sauce for color.
Finishing Up
Your food is done! Please taste it before you serve to make sure you have used the right amount of everything. The only thing you can do now is add your desired amount of flour to thicken up the food I recommend 3Tbsp of flour to start. just be careful on how you add it, make sure you throw it all over, and not just dump it into one spot or it will become a massive clump of flour.
Extra
calorie-wise it's about 1454 for the whole pot and if it's serving around 4-5 people that's around 290 calories. As for cost, it's around 20$ all together( with seasoning price included) which I say is pretty good for 4-5 people. getting past any other statistics I really do like cooking this meal it's the first one I learned when I was like 14.
