Lela’s Chicken and Rice

When I was a teenager one of our neighbors brought over a meal when my mom was sick. Nothing had ever tasted so good as her chicken and rice bake that day. That Neighbor turned out to be my mother-in-law a few years down the road. She didn’t remember bringing dinner, but I did and she had the recipe to prove it!

Lela’s Chicken and Rice

2 large chicken breasts sliced into 3/4 inch slices (raw)
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (homemade would be even better)
1 1/2 cans water
1 1/4 cups white rice
1 Tbsp onion soup mix or your own herb combo
Salt and pepper to taste

Whisk the mushroom soup in a bowl and slowly add the one and a half cups of water and then the rice and soup mix or herbs and the salt and pepper. Pour into a 9 x 13  baking dish and then top with the slices of chicken breast. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes to an hour until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Serve with my Awesome Salad for the perfect meal!
