Italian Chicken and Rice (Gluten Free)

Submitted by LDSMom128

"I get emails for gluten free recipes and this was in an email I received today. It sounds very good, but I haven't tried it yet. This is gluten free and if you omit the cheese can be dairy free as well. I personally don't care for green beans so I am keeping them here as optional."
