Hi Wichman,
Lemon Pilaf
This dish is not only delicious; it shows off your entrée.
The lemon flavor is very light and will complement your chicken.
1 cup sliced celery
1 cup chopped green onions with tops
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 cups steamed rice
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
? teaspoon black or white pepper
Sauté onion or celery in butter until tender. Add rice, lemon rind and seasonings; toss lightly. Continue cooking over low heat about 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.
Makes 6 servings

SIMPLE BAKED ONION SIDE DISH
2 layers chopped or sliced onions
grated cheese
1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
milk (enough to soften soup)
garlic powder
potato chips, crumbled
Select a small to medium sized casserole or oven proof baking dish. Spray with non-stick spray or wipe with melted butter.
Peel, chop or slice enough onions to cover the bottom of the baking dish so that you will have a double layer of onions on the bottom. Sprinkle the onions with enough grated cheese to cover and a light sprinkle of garlic powder.
In a medium bowl, combine soup with enough milk to soften the soup to pouring consistency. Pour over the onion and cheese evenly. Sprinkle with crumbled potato chips.
Note: This is even easier to make if you use a food processor to slice or chop the onions.
Kids love to prepare this dish, too!
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

WILD RICE SIDE DISH
1 c. uncooked wild rice
1 (10 1/2 oz.) can condensed consomme (undiluted)
1/2 lb. mushrooms, sliced or 1 can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 tbsp. butter
Wash rice. Place in greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Add consomme. Let stand overnight or for several hours. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, adding a little water if rice becomes dry.
Meanwhile, saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Stir into rice. Rice should be moist with all liquid absorbed.
(A nice side dish with game and poultry.)

ITALIAN VEGETABLE SIDE DISH
1 can green beans
1 can Italian style stewed tomatoes
Cook both vegetables separately. When ready to serve, mix both vegetables together for a delicious side dish
rice or noodles so that you put the extra sauce over ... and a nice tossed salad.
Rice Vermicelli
1/2 cube of butter
2 chicken bullion cubes
2 cups water
3 coils or about 1 1/2 cups of fideo cappelini pasta (break it up into pieces)
1 cup white rice
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Stick two bullion cubes into the two cups water and heat in microwave until bullion is dissolved. Brown fideo cappelini pasta in the butter until it is golden brown. Add 1 cup of rice and stir until rice is coated in butter mixture. Add the two cups bullion mixture, bring to a boil for one minute, turn onto low heat, cover pan and let it simmer for about 5 to seven minutes (until rice is swollen and cooked). Serve.
Optional: You can add parsley, or some mushrooms and green peppers. Truly, it is delicious just plain. What's nice about this dish is that it has a hugely significant less salt then the boxed mixes, and because you use bullion cubes rather than the canned bullion, again you are not getting tons of salt. It has just the right amount. It's a favorite family recipe and side dish.

Rice Pilaf With Peas And Pine Nuts
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion -- finely chopped
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
salt and pepper -- to taste
1/2 cup pine nuts -- toasted
Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice and turmeric and stir 1 minute.
Mix in broth. Cover and simmer over low heat until rice is almost tender, about 15 minutes. Add peas, cover and continue simmering until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

As lemon chicken is more healthy I like serving it with steamed california blend (carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower) vegetables.
