Last Night's Dinner - Chicken and Rice

My friend Jill gave me this recipe several years ago. 

3/4 cup rice

1 cup water (plus 1/3 cup if desired)

1 can of cream of mushroom soup (I don't care for mushrooms so I use cream of chicken or cheddar cheese soup which is what I used last night)

Boneless Chicken Breast (season as desired)

Mix rice, water and soup in a 9 X 13 inch pan and place chicken on top.  Cover and bake at 375 for 45 minutes.

I always cook three pieces of chicken so I have leftovers for lunch for two days.  When I buy boneless skinless chicken breast, I cut the pieces in half which is closer to a portion size, and I have twice as much chicken.

I had corn with dinner last night.  I wanted broccoli but I didn't have any in the freezer.

Of course... dessert.  Blue Bunny Banana Split ice cream.

Ah yes, my grandma used to make this (and my mom still does)! It used to be a weekly meal from at Grandma's, and it was so good. (Of course, the original recipe just used a whole chicken...then when she got older she started using the boneless skinless breasts b/c they were easier).

When I try to make it, it never tastes quite right. Now that my grandma doesn't cook anymore (she doesn't have a stove in her assisted living apartment), I do have her roaster pan...so maybe that will be the trick, and I should try it again! :)

Looks very yummy.
Kim M. Mar 20, 2011, 10:37am UTC
yummy! You've made this for us before. Need some more! Of course you can't go wrong with Blue Bunny Sugar free stuff. Can't tell the difference. Love their ice cream/fudge bars.
Tina Dalasinski Mar 20, 2011, 10:44am UTC
We grilled out bratwurst,asparagus and pasta salad and potato salad.
Tina Dalasinski Mar 20, 2011, 10:44am UTC
We also snacked on chips and dip.

I love chicken and rice. I use the yellow Spanish rice though. I made tuna casserole last night. :)

That looks yummy, I love rice with anything.

That is quick and easy and looks delicious!

How do you like sugar free ice cream? I've never tried it.
JoAnn C. Mar 20, 2011, 12:31pm UTC
This one was good. You can't tell (or at least I couldn't).
Angela M. Mar 20, 2011, 1:33pm UTC

Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Mar 20, 2011, 1:46pm UTC
Thi is a good recipe, JoAnn. Have you ever made it with another meat? I can imagine what other meat to use...just curious.
connie h. Mar 20, 2011, 3:18pm UTC

Is that reg rice or min rice? I don't make rice dinners so I want to make sure I do it right. This looks really great! =)
JoAnn C. Mar 20, 2011, 8:47pm UTC
regular rice
Pamela Marks Mar 23, 2011, 11:00pm UTC
In the top left hand corner of your picture. what is that. We found one when we moved into this house and I have no idea what it is for or how to use it
JoAnn C. Mar 27, 2011, 10:13am UTC
It's a garlic roaster.
Pamela Marks Mar 27, 2011, 10:23am UTC
thank you
Donald M. Mar 30, 2011, 4:47pm UTC
That sounds good. I would probably use cream of celery soup.
Barbary Chaapel Apr 2, 2011, 7:06pm UTC
Sounds so yum and easy.

Thank you, JoAnn.

This solves supper. About an hour ago I pulled out a couple of chicken breasts and have them thawing in water. Didn't know exactly what to do with them. Now I do. This is good. One question though. Did you use any spices, and if so, what?

Remember the eggplant fritters? I was thinking about them a little while ago. Also, where was the eggplant going to be planted this time.
JoAnn C. Apr 2, 2011, 8:25pm UTC
HI Lynn. The seasoning depends on my mood. I used season salt when I made this. Other times I've used something with more of a kick. Use whatever you like.
Gessy D. Apr 2, 2011, 8:27pm UTC
It looks yummy.
Alison H. Apr 3, 2011, 11:53am UTC
Mmmm!
Elaine B. Apr 3, 2011, 5:34pm UTC
