Recipe of the Week: Chicken & Rice Bake
This week's featured recipe is one of the first things that I ever made for my husband when we were dating. He loved it, and it's become a dish that he requests quite often. And even though I'm branching out and trying to make different things, I still love this. In my mind it's one of those "old faithful" recipes. If I'm running short on time, or ingredients, or if I can't decide what to put on the week's menu, I can always turn to the Chicken & Rice Bake!

2 tsp pepper (or more if desired)
salt to season (optional)
Shredded cheddar cheese (as much as desired)
Directions:
Coat a 2 qt shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Mix soup, water,and rice together. Mix in some cheese (optional). Season with pepper and a little salt (if desired).

- This is a great recipe to cut in half or double, depending on how many people you'll be serving. You can also make the rice without the chicken on top; it's a great side item!
-I often make this with 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (rather than using the chicken). You could also use 2 cans of cream of chicken, if mushroom's not your thing! Or try other flavors of soup that are to your liking.
- Change the size and taste of the recipe by adding a single canned or frozen vegetable (green beans, peas, broccoli, or carrots), or add some mixed vegetables.
-Or try substituting another type of cheese for the cheddar.

We make this all of the time! It is delicious and a favorite at my house. We've never put cheese on it though-will have to try that next time.

It's great to have old stand-bys, especially if your husband loves them too!
PS: I've been by a few times, have I mentioned yet that I think your flower design is too cute?

Thanks for stopping by my site and leaving a note. I hope you will try the brownie recipe. It is quite a hit at my house and eveyone seems to really like. I will try your chicken dish. It sounds great. Blessings.

Recipes with Cream of Mushroom Soup are always good! I also like the sweet story that goes along with it. I still make some of my first recipes and they were really basic! :-) Thanks for joining us for Tasty Tuesday!

This sounds great. I always forget that I can put uncooked rice in something like this - which makes it so simple! Thanks!
