For lack of anything better to do, I guess I'll post some food porn

Damn, it's a slow season. Been doing some farming, but putting in seeds and plants makes for boring photos of dirt and what not, so  that's no fun. Work has produced little in the way of interesting shit insight into the world of temp attorneys, which is supposed to be the reason this blog is here, so I have to come up with something else to dupe you people into coming back here justify this blog's existence. Because posts including the word "porn" seem to drive my readership in Eastern European and Muslim nations, I guess we'll do some food porn.

Today's food porn is some comfort food, a nice chicken casserole. The photo below is not all-inclusive, but your ingredietns will be 2 cups fo cooked chicken, 8 tablespoons of butter (that's a whole stick -- nobody said this would be low-fat) 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, 1 chopped onion, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1-1/2 cups uncooked rice, 3 cups boiling chicken broth and 1 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes:

First of all, you probably better come up with some cooked chicken. I recommend sauteeing about 4 chicken breasts (depending upon their size -- you need less with big breasts. Just sayin'.):

Once you have those cooked, set them aside to cool. You can chop them up later, but trying to chop hot chicken breasts will only result in burned fingers. Don't be that guy.

OK, so chop up that onion:

Then melt the butter in a medium saucepan:

 and sautee them onions until translucent (that means you can kinda-sort see through them, kids), about 5 minutes:

Time to throw in that chicken, which you chopped into cubes after it cooled down:

After about 3 minutes, toss in the pecans:

Mix it up right, people:

At this point, it couldn't hurt to add the seasonings to the rice:

And then you can add the seasonings and rice to the mix:

You'd best be thinking ahead, because you need to bring the chicken broth to a boil:

Yeah, that broth is not boiling. Best get with it people, because you need that broth boiling pretty soon now. By the way, remember the picture of ingredients that didn't include everything? Yeah, bust out one of these bad boys:

And pour that sucker into the mix:

I hope you finally got that chicken broth boiling, because it is time, people. Pour it in:

You know what to do. Mix it up right:

Bring the whole mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover it and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is done and the liquid is absorbed.

 

Once you have met those conditions, you are talking about done. Eat that casserole:
