Shabbat Chicken and Rice All-In-One

Submitted by squirmmom

"You can vary this by including different vegetables and brushing the chicken with different sauces near the end of the cooking time. People who aren't thrilled with rice usually enjoy this way of preparing it, the rice takes on a delicious chickeny flavor. Brown or white rice are equally good here."

I make this recipe constantly! The kids really enjoy the flavorful rice. I've also tried it with mushroom soup mix, makes the rice taste a little risotto-y. This recipe always works and is always a hit.
