This recipe if from Peg Bracken's "I Hate to Cook Book" (1960). I love all her books and recipes! Just wanted to give credit where it is due.

This easy recipe turned out exactly as I hoped it would. I had a craving for chicken that tasted like chicken and rice with a dominant chicken flavor, no sauce, herbs or spices. Just old fashion simple cooking. This was "simply" wonderful. The amount of butter was a bit decadent but combined with the other ingredients and chicken juices - well, there were only 2 of us and most of the rice disappeared. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and the only changes I made were the result of feeblemindness. After adding the broth, I realized that I had used a "parboiled" rice and resigned my self to having mush at the end of the cooking time. I was so upset with myself that I forgot the cover. The good news, after one hour, I had perfectly cooked rice with a roasted chicken flavor. Next time I will use skin on bone in chicken for even more flavor and I will try to pay attention to what I am doing. Thanks Tweeky, it's a keeper.
