Mommy's Chicken Revised

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
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Add chicken breasts and cook for 4 minutes per side over medium-high heat.
  3. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add rice for about 30 seconds. Be careful not to let the rice burn.
  5. Place the chicken breasts over rice and then pour the chicken broth into the skillet.
  6. 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.
  7. I added the 3 tablespoons of milk over the chicken.
  8. Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and then place the skillet in the oven.
  9. Cook for 40-50 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
  10. Remove foil and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.
  11. Remove from oven and serve.
