French Onion Chicken and Rice

 This was amazing!

Ingredients:

-6 Chicken Thighs (boneless/skinless)

-1 French Onion Soup Mix

-3T Olive Oil

-2 Onions, chopped

-1.5 cups Long Grain Rice

-2 cups Chicken stock

-3T sour cream (could us heavy cream or cream cheese)

-1 large handful of spinach leaves

Instructions:

1. In a large frying, saute onions with some butter/oil and some salt.  Once cooked through (about 7 minutes), remove from pan and set aside.

2. Coat your chicken with French onion soup mix. Heat the oil in the same large frying pan,  and sear chicken on both sides (about 2 minutes each side) until nice and golden.  Remove from the pan.

3 In the same pan, add the rice and cook for 1 minute stirring.  Then add the stock, sour cream and some salt.  Bring to a simmer (3-4 minutes).

4. Add the onions, some spinach leaves (I did not have this so we made it without) and chicken back into the pan and then cover and continue to simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Firecracker Meatballs and Rice

For the meatballs:

1 lb of ground beef (for approximately 20 1 1/2 inch meatballs)

1/2 C panko bread crumbs

Green onions - thinly sliced and separated by color

3 T soy sauce

salt

pepper

Firecracker Sauce

4 T Mayo

3 T Sour Cream

4 tsp Soy sauce

4 tsp honey

2 tsp Sriracha

Rice

Start cooking some rice while you prepare the meatballs.  Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  To prepare meatballs, combine beef, panko, onion whites, 3 T soy sauce, 1-1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste.  Form into 20 1-1/2  inch balls.  Place meatballs on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Roast on the top rack until meatballs are cooked through, 14-16 minutes.  

Prepare firecracker sauce by combining mayo, sour cream, honey, 4 tsp soy sauce, and sriracha in a medium to large bowl.

Once meatballs are ready, add them to the bowl of firecracker sauce and toss (or stir) to coat.  Place meatballs on rice and dirzzle with remaining sauce.  Feel free to garnish with green onions if you're into that.
