NO PEEK CHICKEN (I PEEKED)

This is a slight modification of a recipe I found on line. We weren't sure how this would turn out, but were pleasantly surprised.

 

http://77easyrecipes.com/no-peek-chicken/

1 box Uncle Ben’s Long Grain Wild Rice (original recipe)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup
2 cans water
4 Chicken THIGHS and 4 Chicken LEGS

    I suppose if you want to screw it up, you could use chicken breasts instead. BUT, you get better taste doing it this way.

     There is nothing easier than this. Really, I ain't yanking your chain here. It takes minutes to prepare and you can drink beer while it cooks.

      In a greased 9 x 13 pan, mix the box of rice, cans of celery and mushroom soup and one can of water. Arrange the raw chicken on top of the rice mixture. Cover and seal with foil. 

Here is the Rice we used

      Bake at 350 degrees for 2 1/2 hours and “Don’t Peek!” Your house will smell amazing!

WHEN we finally peeked, it was not close to being done...and 

the chicken was not even starting to brown.

So we changed it up a bit ..

We removed the foil and put it back in the oven (set on 

convection) for another 30 min until the chicken is up to temp.

Now the house smells amazing. 

Needs to cook a little longer...... Use your handy dandy temperature probe thing.  

 

With this modification , this recipe worked for us and tasted 

GREAT . It's a 'keeper' 

Next up, a BETTER recipe for this, using a SLO-COOKER !
