My dad's mom made onion soup chicken, referred to as "mommy's chicken," and it was one of my favorite home cooked meals growing up. I decided to try a new method for making this familiar meal and used my cast iron pan. This came out soooo good and much better than using the tinfoil.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- I used 2 bone in with skin chicken breasts - you could easily add 4 to this dish
- 1 package of Lipton's Onion Soup Mix
- 1 cup brown rice (I think wild rice would taste really good with this)
- 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons of milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Add chicken breasts and cook for 4 minutes per side over medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add rice for about 30 seconds. Be careful not to let the rice burn.
- Place the chicken breasts over rice and then pour the chicken broth into the skillet.
- Sprinkle the Lipton's mix over the rice and chicken. I love the taste of the Onion Soup mix, so I used the whole package (oops!) but you could easily just do 1/2 and get great flavor that's not as strong.
- I added the 3 tablespoons of milk over the chicken.
- Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and then place the skillet in the oven.
- Cook for 40-50 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
- Remove foil and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.
- Remove from oven and serve.
