Re: King Ranch Chicken - Old Bay - 11-11-2008 Quote: The broth is mixed with the soup Re: King Ranch Chicken - DFen911 - 11-11-2008 Probably just cover all the ingredients with water. Re: King Ranch Chicken - Gourmet_Mom - 11-11-2008 Quote:That's kinda what I was thinking. I can't wait to fix this! Re: King Ranch Chicken - Old Bay - 11-11-2008 No, do not add any water--the reduced broth mixed with the soup is all the liquid you need. Re: King Ranch Chicken - Gourmet_Mom - 11-11-2008 Quote:Bill, we're talking about where the broth comes from here. Do these ingredients create enough liquid? I'm confused. Re: King Ranch Chicken - Old Bay - 11-11-2008 The broth is the liquid the chickens cooked in--remove the chicken and reduce the remaining broth to 3 cups, strain out the solids and mix the strained broth with the mushroom soup--the combination makes plenty of liquid. Re: King Ranch Chicken - Gourmet_Mom - 11-11-2008 Thanks Bill. I could have assumed, but wanted to be sure. This is on the menu...now to go back and find what you served with it. I probably won't find the exact thing, but it will be a guide. Re: King Ranch Chicken - Old Bay - 11-11-2008 We did guacomole--Shiner Bock beer, a good Zin, or as I told Jean, I think one of Washington state tempranellos would wash it down nicely. |
