I was pretty late to the party joining French Fridays with Dorie and there are some completed recipes that I am really sorry I missed! This is one of the ones I thought looked especially good. You’d think I’d be tired of this magic chicken already but guess what, I’m not!
Tristan is not big on rice and he said he thought this was really good which is high praise from him. I’m thinking about looking up some recipes for fried or baked risotto balls or something to use up the leftovers – adding butter and breadcrumbs is pretty much always a good idea. Yum!


I have to say whenever I have a cheesy rice dish like this I tend to eat myself sick. I just love it for some reason…
I remember this rice dish from ffwD, but the magic chicken sounds more intriguing!
Thanks for the inspiration! There are a number of recipes that I would like to try from the cookbook and now I will.
You can never go wrong with mayonnaise. Love the stuff, especially if it is homemade. I might have to make this one soon.
I have never made my own before (I used Hellman’s) but ever since seeing Julie & Julia and reading My Life in Paris I have flirted was the idea.
