Preparation:
Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
In heavy skillet, combine the butter, bacon, and garlic. Saute over
medium heat 2 to 5 minutes until bacon is browned.
Add the onions, mushrooms and celery. Saute over medium heat 2 to 3
minutes until tender.
Add the spinach. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg,
salt, pepper and cooked rice. Blend.
Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Turn the rice mixture into it.
Place the chicken breasts with skin side up on top of the rice.
Combine the paprika, sherry or juice, and butter. Drizzle over the
chicken to coat evenly.
Bake at 400° for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is done. |
