Chicken that goes with mushroom flavored rice

now normally I would just make any chicken but im going to my sister in laws house for shabbos and im making half the food and bringing it. she told me to make a chicken that goes with mushroom flavored rice. any ideas what would work? hmmm....why so particular? good chicken, good rice...its just me, husband and her and her husband.

Maybe she means a regular chicken rather than a sweet chicken, heavily spicy chicken or a fried/breaded chicken. A bit of garlic, tumeric or paprika, onion powder, moist so there is a gravy. Anyway, that's what I think of when I think of a chicken going with mushroom flavored rice.

Here's a great way to cook it, you'll have LOTS of gravy to go over the rice.

It's not baked, but cooked in a pot on the stove.... Here goes:

Fry a large, cut up onion.
Add the Chicken pieces and brown on all sides.
Pour some Dry Red Wine over the chicken and let it cook for a couple of minutes.
Add: Fresh-peeled Garlic Cloves, Cubed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes and Carrots and enough water to cover about 3/4 of the veggies.
Spices: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Mushroom Soup Mix.

Cook until chicken and veggies are soft.

This recipe it YUM YUM YUM!!!
It's always a hit!!!

!!בתאבון

Thanks Hinda R!
I'm thinking of making it right now!
It's worth it, just for the amazing aroma which fills the house while it's cooking!!! Yes

Does it keep well on the platta/blech?

Hinda R - I personally don't like what happens to chicken when it's on the Plata over-night..... I don't know, it gets kinda dry and hard to eat...

We usually have it Friday night. (and it heats up well during the week, if you have any left-over...)

BTW, I forgot to write in the recipe: Add lots of fresh Garlic cloves (peeled). it gives a really good flavor. (maybe I'll edit my post above, in case someone only reads the recipe...)

sounds delicious! I dont have mushroom soup mix...can I use another soup mix instead? onion soup mix? I know it wont be the same but...have u ever tried that?
I cant even buy soup mixes in this country:(

You can try playing with your own homemade mixes. I would mix spices such as tumeric, paprika, garlic, onion powder, fresh or dired parsley, salt and pepper together, add fresh sauteed mushrooms, mix in with some home cooked soup broth; chicken or veggie or beef.

This isn't a guarrantee that it would work, but I think you'll get a nice flavor out of the above.

Sure! You can use diff. spices and or Onion Soup-Mix.
I'm sure it will come out delicious.

The idea with the mushroom soup-mix, is that it makes the gravy kind of creamy and thick.
But, maybe you can get that effect by using some corn-starch. (mix in a cup: a small amount of the gravy with a little bit of corn-starch, and add to the pot towards the end, like 5 min. before you turn off the fire).

Good Shabbs!! Very Happy

Call me crazy, but wouldn't any chicken go well with mushroom flavored rice?

I wouldn't think fruited chicken would, but that is just my taste.

Everything is ready, on the platta...one half hour to go so I come here to see everyone.

I love it here.
