Preheat oven to 350 degrees
leftover chicken, 1-2 cups
1 cup rice
chicken tettrazzini sauce
parmesan cheese
Okay, this is essentially the same recipe as Chicken Tettrazzini except you use rice instead of pasta.
Cook your rice - 1 cup uncooked rice plus 2 cups of water with a tablespoon of butter = 2 cups of cooked rice.
Chop up leftover chicken or just boil a chicken breast and chop it up.
Make the sauce for chicken tettrazini with these proportions:
2 T. butter
2 T. flour
melt butter and add flour and cook for a few minutes.
Add:
1 cup of water with 2 chicken bouillon cubes dissolved in it.
1 cup of milk.
Heat until it gets only a bit thick.
In a square pan, 8 x 8 metal/glass pan, put cooked rice, chicken and sauce. Stir all around. Salt and pepper generously. Top with parmesan cheese.
Cook at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. You want the parmesan cheese to be golden and for all the liquid to have pretty much been absorbed.
This is a bland comfort food recipe. You can add variations just like with the tettrazzini--add mushrooms or peas.
