Sunday Chicken Supreme

4/25/2015

Comments

 
This casserole is made with a whole chicken, onion, carrots, celery, rice, and almonds, along with other ingredients.  It is fairly simple, but it does take a little time as you must cook the chicken first and then assemble the remaining ingredients and bake.  It is well worth the extra time!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 whole stewing chicken, about 5 pounds
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 carrot, cut in 4 slices
  • 1/2 cup celery with tops
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 6 cups cooked rice (I like to use Uncle Bens, it holds up better in the oven)
  • 6 tablespoons chicken fat or part butter  (I know but you can't substitute the flavor you get)
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 2 cans (4 ounces each) sliced mushrooms
  • 4 ounces chopped pimiento
  • 1 cup toasted slivered almonds
  • 1 cup soft buttered bread crumbs

PREPARATION:

In a large kettle or Dutch oven, combine chicken, water, onion, carrot, celery, salt, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until tender.

Cool chicken in the stock; remove from stock. Remove skin and take meat from bones; cut into bite-size pieces and place in a medium bowl.

Pour about 1/2 cup of stock over the chicken; cover and refrigerate.

Strain remaining stock into a bowl; chill. Skim fat off the strained chilled stock; save for the sauce.

Heat 1 cup of stock; pour over cooked rice in a bowl; let stand while making sauce.

Melt chicken fat or part chicken fat and part butter in a saucepan over medium low heat. Blend in flour until smooth and bubbly, you are making a Ruex. Stir in 2 cups of strained stock. Cook sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens; let boil 1 minute. Gradually stir cream; remove from heat. Stir in mushrooms with mushroom liquid, pimiento, and almonds. In a buttered 12 cup casserole dish, alternate layers of chicken with sauce and the rice-broth mixture. Sprinkle buttered bread crumbs over top. Bake at 350° for 45 to 55 minutes, or until sauce is bubbly and crumbs are nicely browned.
