Baked Herb Chicken and other recipes
These links have been saved in my bloglines, just waiting for me to remember not to forget to try them someday. Don’t they look delicious? Forget meeting at the park; if I ever mirl with these people, I want them to invite me to their homes for a meal!
- Crystal’s Lazy Granola
- Tammy’s Orange Vanilla Dream Cheesecake looks like it could easily be made low-carb. I’ll let you know. Hubby loves orange sherbet/vanilla ice cream, so I can’t wait to try this recipe on him.
- Easy Ice Cream Toppings from The Common Room look, well, easy. And yummy.
- Even better, try The Common Room’s recipe for Almond Joy cake - but make sure you have a gallon of milk for drinking and lots of friends to help you eat it all.
- Granny’s Crock Pot 40 Clove Garlic Chicken: I have to admit, the 40 cloves scare me a bit, but since when did I let that stop me?
And here’s my easy recipe for Baked Herb Chicken, as seen in my menu last week. Easy, frugal, and always gets rave reviews.
Baked Herb Chicken - I make this in my 18 qt. electric roaster for church fellowships; it feeds a crowd. You could cut it in half for a 9×13 to feed 6-8.
3-4 cups uncooked rice
8 lbs. chicken pieces - I use legs and thighs because they’re cheap
1 large can cream-of-something soup. Yes, I’m ashamed. Just open the can and don’t tell anyone.
6-8 cups water (twice as much water as rice)
1 chicken bouillon cube for each cup of water
2-3 Tbs. of seasoning - I like basil or Italian seasoning. I think Cajun sounds good but haven’t tried it yet.
2 tsp. lemon juice - adds a subtle edge to the dish. Don’t worry; it won’t taste lemony.
Now the easy part:
- Grease the pan. Spread dry rice evenly across the bottom.
- Arrange raw chicken on top.
- Combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken and rice.
- Cover and cook until chicken and rice are done. I plug this in before church at 300 degrees and it’s done in 2.5-3 hours. In a regular oven, it would take about 1.5 hours at 325.
We had a bit left over and used it later as the base for a cheesy chicken/broccoli casserole. I deboned the chicken, stirred it into the rice, and added a package of broccoli w/the cooking liquid, some shredded cheese, and heated til bubbly.
Yummy again!

Good. I feel like having herb chicken tonight! Have you every tried curry powder with it? I wonder how this would work in a big slow cooker?
My mom used to make a chicken and rice dish that was very similar to this. Except hers didn’t use herbs, and instead of water/bouillon she used milk. We used to love it!
I can testify that Kim’s herb chicken recipe is yummers—we had the pleasure of tasting it this past Sunday, and it is so savory it almost reminds you of Chicken n’ Dumplings. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
And I can testify to Granny’s 40 garlic clove chicken, as well. Pretty yummy, and not nearly as garlic-y as you might think.
40 cloves is a wonderful recipe! I heard it from Alton Brown (good Eats) from the Food Network. He’s our favorite! My husband, who doesn’t like big doses of garlic, likes that meal! Try it!
