Chicken and Rice Bake

Submitted by diner524

"This is a recipe I had marked to try from my TOH Homemakers School Magazine. I love recipes that use French's French Fried Onions, so if you don't wouldn't recommend this to try. I like that is a one pan meal and looks so tasty."

Pure comfort food and going directly into my 'best of the best'. Delicious!! I could eat the whole pan of rice and mushrooms myself!! Thank you!

Simply delicious. Even DH gave this all 5 fingers with a grin! Everything needed I had on hand except the French fried onions and the local store had those. We're already well into losing summer up here in the north and it's been wet and gray for days so this lovely dish was a warming comfort last evening as well as delicious.

I've prepared a lot of chicken and rice dishes, and this is one of the very best. The addition of the mushrooms and French fried onions contributes a lot of wonderful flavor that is lost in other versions of this dish. It was so yummy. I'm so glad I made it. Thanks, diner524.

Perfect comfort food! Chicken and RIce with a delicious fried onion twist. I couldn't find cream of chicken and broccoli, so I used half a can of cream of chicken and half a can of cream of broccoli. Guess I'll need to figure out how to use the other halves of the cans! I took a pic, but it was dark and not very good....will try again when I heat it up for lunch when the sun is up. I think if you threw in some broccoli flowerets, it would be a one dish meal! Made for Best of 2010....delicious!

This is soooo good!! I made for 2 servings with one GIANT b/s chicken breast (but should have doubled the rice mixture). DH ate 2 servings and left a very clean plate (well, except for the pile of mushrooms). Going into our Best of 2011 cookbook!! Made for PRMR.
