INGREDIENTS
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (10 3/4ounce)cancream of chicken soup
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 cups Minute Rice
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- chopped onions (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- (My new favorite for this recipe is the Foster Farms frozen”Chicken Tenders”- you can usually find them in the meat section at the grocery store, I cook up about 1/2 the bag for this recipe).
- Spray large frying pan with Pam cooking spray and cook chicken breasts until done.
- Cook onion with chicken if onions are desired.
- Cut chicken into bite size pieces.
- Add the can of cream of chicken soup.
- Add water to soup and chicken mixture and mix until creamy.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add rice and stir to mix.
- Return to a boil then reduce heat to simmer.
- Simmer for 5 minutes stirring occasionally so rice does not stick to the bottom.
- Turn off heat and let sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
- This makes 4″hefty” servings but would easily serve 6 with side dishes.
- I have mixed broccoli in to this as well for a truly”one dish meal” and it is good.
