Chicken and Rice Pot

To give this recipe that fresh garden taste, I like to add sliced fresh mushrooms and maybe some fresh basil, rosemary, or dill. It's an easy, make-ahead meal, so there's no fussing at dinnertime.

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 1 hr 30 min

Ingredients

• 1 (10-3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 (3- to 4- pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
• 1 (1.25-ounce) envelope dried onion soup mix

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    
2. In a medium bowl, mix the mushroom soup, water, rice, and parsley. Pour into roasting pan or large casserole dish. Place chicken pieces on top. Sprinkle onion soup mix over chicken.
    
3. Cover and bake about 1-1/2 hours or until chicken is done.
