my FAVORITE meal- chicken & rice

this is my ABSOLUTE favorite meal & finally mastered it myself. so here's my homeslice of heaven for you.

1 ¼ cup rice (white rice works best but i like to use brown. when you use brown, boil it with 2 1/2 cups water for about 10 minutes. drain the rice {this will help soften the rice because it will take longer in the oven}). layer over bottom of 9’x13’ casserole. Set approx. 12 pieces of chicken on rice (legs and thighs work best but i use 3 large chicken breasts and they work great). In a sauce pan bring to boil.
3 cups of water                                    1 can of mushroom soup
1 pkg. onion soup mix                        3 chicken bouillon cubes
1 can mushrooms with liquid.

pour boiling liquid over the chicken and rice. bake covered for 45 minutes {it may take longer. cook until the rice is soft}. uncover and bake for 15 minutes to brown top of chicken. serve with broccoli.
