Ingredients
  

  • 3 5-oz. pkg. Mahatma yellow rice with seasonings
  • 6 chicken breasts skinless, boneless, or 1 whole chicken, cut up
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 3-4 cups hot water with either 3 bouillon cubes or 3 tsp. instant chicken bouillon or substitute chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Place yellow rice in a mixing bowl.
  • Add soup and 2 cups chicken broth.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Lay rice mixture in bottom of a 10x15” greased casserole dish.
  • Lay chicken pieces on top.
  • Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes.
  • Fluff rice and turn chicken over.
  • Add another cup of chicken broth.
  • Using a fork, remove any rice or seasoning that has adhered to the back of the chicken pieces.
  • Bake another 30 minutes and fluff again.
  • Add an additional cup of chicken broth or water.
  • Bake 30 more minutes and fluff about every 10-15 minutes to get liquid to absorb into rice.

Notes

NOTE: This recipe cooks a lot faster if you don't cover the casserole with foil during baking. It also browns the chicken to a nice golden glow.
