I’m posting this mostly so I can find it in a big hurry. When a hurricane is coming in it’s a special occasion. Not just that we’re about to be flattened by Mother Nature, but we can actually enjoy comfort food. And since we’re likely to be without power for some time I like to feed my family at least one last decent meal.And since, as the National Hurricane Center so delicately puts it “all efforts to protect life should be urgently rushed to completion” my mind might be elsewhere. The ease of preparation fits the bill and the creamy rice (think risotto) and chicken taste great. I sometimes add canned peas or fresh broccoli and/or mushrooms. If you can find it, substitute Campbell’s Cream of Chile Poblano soup for a really different taste.
This is my great-aunt Delia’s famous New Year’s Day main dish, with notes for a cheaper version that my mom made most Sundays. It is so good that my sibs and I would fight (literally) over the last bits of rice clinging to the pan! Don’t be tempted to replace the butter with margarine–this is a holiday meal, after all, and you just don’t skimp for holidays! Also, don’t forget to dry the poultry. If you don’t, the butter won’t stick to the skin and help crisp and flavor it. Oh, and canned mushrooms work fine instead of fresh.
