Pepsi Chicken & Rice

podapo's Note:

about 8-9 years ago, my daughter and I overheard a fireman telling the butcher about this recipe, sounded so easy and quick, we promptly made it and it's been a favorite since. HOWEVER, my hubby doesn't care for the rice so I always make him some plain rice seperate. The best part about this recipe is you can increase or decrease it depending on your needs.

• Total Time: 3 hrs 30 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 chicken breasts , cut into bite size pieces
• 2 cups rice (uncooked)
• 1 -2 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite)
• 1 -2 cup Pepsi (diet does NOT work)

Directions:

1. In a skillet, cook the chicken until no longer pink.
2. Put the rice in a 4 quart casserole.
3. Spoon the chicken over this.
4. Mix equal parts BBQ sauce and Pepsi.
5. I always keep plenty as depending upon how much rice you use, will need to add more.
6. Pour this mixture over the rice/chicken.
7. Put into oven and slow cook at 250 for 3-5 hours.
8. Keep checking and ADDING MORE LIQUID as needed, otherwise the rice will not be tender.
9. Make sure to stir occasionally.
10. Serve with a salad and breadsticks for an easy meal.

I made this last night and the rice was still very crunchy after cooking it for 3 1/2 hrs. I used an entire 20 oz. bottle of pepsi and more than 2 cups bbq sauce and it was still way too dry to cook the rice. I have read the directions countless times trying to evaluate what I did wrong and am certain that I followed the recipe given.

This was by far the most delicious recipe I've made in a LONG time.. It was soooo good. :) I had some rice left over so I used it as a side for dinner the next night. Worked out great! Thanks a lot.
