Chicken and Rice

Waiting for the inevitable comment from DL's own Starving Darfur Orphan...

R1 you beat them to it.

Thank you for not assuming my gender, R2.

And now back to our regular broadcast in Bangkok they eat the chicken poached with spicy sauce. The chicken and the rice are cold or at room temp which takes getting used to but it does make a nice breakfast.

Chicken cacciatore!

R5 with rice?

R6, doh! Dunno why I just read favorite chicken dish. Changing my answer to chicken plov, an Uzbek dish I've only tried a few times, but is very good.

This is not about Asian twinks?

I want to try jollof

R9 Jollof is easy to make but not a chicken and rice dish, in fact it is not served with chicken.

I make a curry version with peppers and cauliflower

Chicken à la King. It's the KING of chicken and rice

The mention of chicken à la king reminds me of those TV dinners I had a couple of times when I was young - the ones that came in boilable plastic pouches, where the rice comes in one pouch and the chicken & sauce are in the other.

Anyway, my choice is chicken & rice choice is chicken biryani

Cant get rid of this frickin' chick I see.

I want to try coq au vin blanc with rice. Looks so tasty.

With sauce, Sir?

Chicken sashimi and oriental sushi rice

Kaeng Khiao Wan. I spice this green curry more than is usual, but for me it lends all the comfort chicken-and-rice dishes can have while being interesting as well.

Not in Ireland. Thank God for Indian food.

My mom used to make some kind of baked chicken dish where you cooked everything together in one baking dish. I don't remember the specifics, but I think you put the raw rice and raw chicken pieces in together, with canned onion soup, white wine, and some other kind of canned soup (cream of mushroom, maybe?)

R20, I make that without the wine but with onion and garlic. Delicious.

Indians have Birihani.

Spanish have paella

In my culture our chicken & rice dish is chicken...and rice.

In December

I will be a baubled bangled Christmas tree

with soup bowls draped all over me.

Merry once , merry twice, merry chicken soup with rice.

[quote]So many cultures have versions of chicken and rice, a natural pairing.

Utah makes makes the pairing unnatural by slow-cooking chicken breasts in a glop of canned cream-of-chicken soup and sour cream. The chicken is shredded and added back to the sauce, then poured over individual bowls of white rice.

You then create your own masterpiece by adding toppings from an array of vegetables, shredded cheese, canned pineapple chunks and mandarin orange segments, chow mein noodles, black olives, and any leftovers that look like they’d work.

Because pineapple is involved, Sister Concerncunt way back when determined the mess needed a name that warned of its wildly exotic nature — Hawaiian Haystacks.

R13 - I remember those boil in bag Chicken à la Kings. There were other varieties as well, but I don't remember what they were. I remember when I was 15 my parents and sisters went out of town for the weekend, and they bought me some of those (and a Tombstone pizza!) to have for dinner while they were gone. They were visiting family friends and I didn't want to go.

Interesting that chicken paired with rice doesn't exist in Italian cuisine. Rice isn't a side dish. And "chicken risotto" isn't a thing. The closest might be adding rice to chicken soup but it's not really common.

Utah is sickening.

Risotto alla Milanese is an Italian dish that pairs chicken broth with rice but it is usually served with veal shanks.

Even the chicken soup for when you are sick in Italy uses Pastina.

Though I'm American, r27, I mostly cook Italian. I nearly never eat rice, at least, not at home. It never occurs to me to eat it instead of pasta as a starch, I suppose. I think of it as an accompaniment to Asian food. And risotto doesn't even use the same type of rice.

Persian people have a lot of different rice dishes and many are served with chicken. This one looks so yummy, I'm hangry

More Persian chicken and rice dishes

This looks so good, Persian chicken kebab

In Iran there are many versions of chicken and rice and so far, all that I have tried have been good.

Puchero Andaluz

There are countless versions, each with many ingredients, yet the chicken usually comes through as the key or certainly a key flavor of a rich mix. With rice (the usual, rather than fideos) and a bit of yerba buena.

Jambalaya from the south: rice cooked in stock and the veg trinity of onions, celery, green peppers, chicken, garlic, prawns, any other ‘catch of the day’ plus traditionally and optionally other available meat from the hunt/road kill such as raccoon, alligator, etc. A real clear out the fridge and cook in one pot dish. Add cayenne pepper to taste and sprinkle with fresh chopped scallions/spring onions to serve.

R33 I've never been, but I've been to Persian restaurant in LA and OMG, the food is to die for.

Hainanese chicken rice.

A Trinidadian former colleague of mine once made a batch of chicken pelau for a Christmas pot-luck. It was a big hit.

Yay I can post again

Dogs LOVE chicken and rice.

R23, that's a horrible recipe. That barely has any seasoning in it. It must taste like dishwater

4 quarts (16 cups) water approx. (enough to cover chicken)

4 lb. (approx.) whole chicken

3-4 stalks celery; rough chopped

1 large sweet onion; diced

1 teaspoon pepper – divided

3 cups long grain white rice

1 teaspoon salt – divided 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon celery salt 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley – divided

Arroz caldo, Filipino comfort food. Best when one is sick with a cold.

Nasi or Bami Goreng

I like the recipe where you take some chicken and you cook it and you take some rice and you cook it and then you eat them.

R25 WTF? I'm gonna puke.

[quote]Risotto alla Milanese is an Italian dish that pairs chicken broth with rice but it is usually served with veal shanks.

The classic risotto alla milanese is made with brodo di carne....not chicken broth.

[quote]Even the chicken soup for when you are sick in Italy uses Pastina.

Pastina has nothing to do with rice.

Japanese style chicken curry over Japanese Calrose short grain rice, Jasmine rice, or Basmati rice. My second would be a coconut base Thai chicken curry with lemongrass over rice.

I thought we had a poster called Arroz con pollo

R46 Even the official Italian recipe contains chicken stock, so shove your carne up your ass hole.

R49 "This is my version of the great Italian classic" Yes. It's her version. I guess she could also do it with fish stock if she wants to....

But this is the classic version:

Sippin' once, sippin' twice, sippin' chicken soup with rice!

R49 But the point is, even if you use chicken broth, you really can't consider a "risotto all milanese" a "chicken and rice" dish. as the OP intends.

Did anyone say that the Risotto was a chicken and rice dish?

Risotto alla Milanese is an Italian dish that pairs chicken broth with rice but it is usually served with veal shanks.

I think the statement that it is served with veal shank is proof that no one ever stated that it was a chicken and rice dish.

R52 take your baggage home.

I'm not Chinese, but chicken fried rice is one of my favorite ways to use boneless skinless chicken thighs, throw in some egg, green onions, peas, and of course, soy sauce.

R54 Huge Chicken Fried Rice fan here too! I like carrots, celery, and water chestnuts in addition to your ingredients. Sometimes a bit of fried shredded cabbage as well.

Chicken paprika.

[quote]Risotto alla Milanese is an Italian dish that pairs chicken broth with rice

The traditional recipe is beef broth. Not chicken.

Three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and Italian food causing an argument on Datalounge.

R13 and R22 South Asian chicken biryani FTW

R41

Youre right! I was going for the photo representation more than the actual recipe. Done right (homemade broth from the chicken you just cooked for the dish, lots of black pepper), it's quite good, if mild.

Am I the only person who just doesn’t like rice? I’ve tried different varieties and styles and I just don’t like it, the texture or taste. If I want a starch, I’ll eat much tastier potatoes or pasta.

R61 I don't like rice much either, but mostly plain white rice. I've come to appreciate rice with sauces or spices, like anyone needs to like starchy foods after 30...

But overall, not a huge rice fan. Potatoes and bread, any day

One of my staple meals. I pre-cook boneless chicken breasts (or thighs) and keep them in the fridge to speed things up. I find simple is best:

While making fresh brown rice in the cooker...

Shred 2 or 3 chicken breasts, in a large pan stir on medium heat with olive oil, onion, garlic (add nearer the end so it doesn't burn), and a little bit of minced something green (spinach, kale, again, toss in near the ned).

I also find a drop or two of sesame oil adds a great flavor, and a spoonful of honey helps things caramelize. In fact, it's vital!

Increase the heat to high towards the end to really crispify those edges. Stir non-stop. When rice is ready throw it in while piping hot, add black and red pepper, and some Bragg's Amino sauce (I use this instead of any salt... but go nuts with the salt if you wish). Add maybe add a bit more oil. Mix well. If you're feeling it, add crushed peanuts on top or sesame seeds if you have them.

Serve piping hot. Not the healthiest meal but you could do a lot worse. Amazing on a cold day!

R63 It sounds pretty healthy?
