Recipe of the Week: Chicken-Rice Casserole

This week’s recipe is for a Chicken-Rice Casserole. It is a recipe excerpted from the scarce book Nine Hundred Successful Recipes, by Lulu Thompson Silvernail. This book, from my own book collection, was published in 1923. A recent change in U.S. copyright law now puts most pre-1925 books in the public domain.

Lulu Thompson Silvernail’s emphasis in this book was recipes that included hard red winter wheat flour. This entire recipe book is just part of the extensive bonus content that is included in this year’s SurvivalBlog archive waterproof USB stick. Note: The USB sticks are now in stock. They are selling quickly, so get yours soon, before they sell out.

  1. No need to precook rice or chicken,boil water(seasoned) or use canned cream of chicken/mushroom. Place chicken on top(thigh quarters work very well,almost can’t overcook),bake 400 1hr until chicken skin is crispy. Can also be done in slow cooker.
