One Dish Chicken and Rice Bake

Bev's Note:

This recipe goes together in 5 minutes and bakes in 45. Best of all it is mixed and baked in the same casserole! Enjoy this recipe from American Century Cookbook.

I made this chicken last night and was very disappointed. I used Basmatti long grain brown rice, mixed it with the water and soup and placed it in the bottom of the pan with chick on top. I covered it and baked it for 45 minutes...while the chicken was more than done the rice didn't fully cook and everything was watery.Given the other high review I must have done something very wrong! I ended up cooking some more rice on the stove to add to the pan to try and salvage the meal.

Used packaged cream of mushroom mix and a small can of pieces and stems of mushroom. My other half had to work late so I refrigerated her share and reheated it the following day both times excellent and the clean up is the best part. One dish to wash is always a plus. Thanks Bev.

I have this recipe but I add 1 pkg. dry onion soup mix to the soup and 1 can of mushrooms. Very good!
