I had a lot going on last night. My sweet niece, against all odds, graduated from high school! We are so proud of her! As a result, we had a quick and easy dinner last night! I found this at Real Mom Kitchen. I love this blog and I check it often, especially when I can't figure out what to make for dinner!
Hot Chicken and Rice Salad
12' dutch oven
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 cup celery, diced
2 cups of cooked rice
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup fresh mushroom, sliced (I didn't have any so I used shredded carrots)
1 tsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup corn flakes (I used Ritz crackers)
1 (4 oz) pkg slice almonds (I left these out--food allergies!)
In a bowl combine chicken, celery, rice, mayonnaise, mushrooms, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cream of chicken soup. Mix ingredients until well combined. Pour mixture into a 12" DO and spread out evenly in the pot. Combine corn flakes and butter until corn flakes are well coated with butter. Spoon corn flake mixture evenly over chicken/rice mixture. Bake at 400* for 15 minutes using 19 coals on top and 10 on the bottom.
Sprinkle with sliced almonds and cook 5 more minutes. Serves 6-8.
The Finished Product
The Review
I have to say, this was pretty good. For a meal that only cooks for 15 or 20 minutes, I can't complain. Its not something that will go into regular meal rotation, but when I need something fast, its just the ticket. Everyone ate it and no one complained so its a success in my book. I'll keep this one around just for busy days. Grade B-.
