I bought a 10 lb bag of chicken leg quarters once and had to think up a variety of ways to enjoy them without getting bored. This is just my simple version of a comfort food staple. This recipe makes a little additional rice in comparison to other recipes because the rice is my favorite part. The mushrooms are entirely optional, and you can sub cream of mushroom for one of the cans of soup.

Ingredients

  1. 2chicken leg quarters - legs and thighs separated
  2. 2 cupsinstant rice - uncooked
  3. 2 canscream of chicken soup
  4. 1 1/2 cupwater or low sodium chicken broth
  5. 1/2small onion - finely chopped
  6. 4 ozbutton mushrooms - chopped
  7. 1Lawry's Chicken & Poultry Rub

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Carefully split chicken leg quarters at joint and trim off any excess fat around the edges. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Directly into a 9x11" casserole dish add uncooked rice, soup, water, onion, and mushrooms. Stir to fully combine. Level out evenly.

  3. 3

    Place chicken pieces on top of rice mixture, skin side up. Sprinkle entire surface with Lawry's chicken & poultry rub. Note: If you can't find this, standard poultry seasoning with a little additional pepper, garlic and onions powders will do. Lawry's just adds an extra crunch.

  4. 4

    Place in oven. Bake uncovered 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until golden brown on top and chicken is fully cooked.

  5. 5

    Let rest 10 minutes. Serve with vegetable side of your choice. We like green beans or steamed broccoli.

  6. 6

    Alteration: This can be made with boneless skinless chicken breast. Just rub your chicken breasts with olive oil before placing on top and reduce bake time to 30-45 minutes or until internal temp is 165 and rice is cooked.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
