Smothered Chicken and Rice Tips<\/h2>

Can you finish cooking smothered chicken in the oven?<\/h3>Yes, you can finish cooking this chicken in the oven. To avoid dirtying unnecessary dishes, prepare the recipe in a cast-iron skillet or other oven-safe pan (here are the best cast iron skillets under $50<\/a>). After combining all ingredients, cover the skillet and bake in a 350\u00b0F oven until the chicken is done.\r\n\r\n

What else can you put in smothered chicken and rice?<\/h3>For a variation on this recipe, prepare it with cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken and add a can of drained sliced mushrooms if desired. Or, instead of serving this smothered chicken with rice, consider cooked zucchini noodles for a pop of color and nutrition. Our Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Rice Casserole<\/a> bakes up easily in a 13x9 dish, with no stovetop cooking!

How do you store smothered chicken and rice?<\/h3>Cool the dish completely, then cover and refrigerate for 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months. Did you know these storage tricks to make everyday foods last longer<\/a>?
