Chicken In Rice - party

Method

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Heat oil in skillet on medium.
• Spread uncooked rice in large pyrex dish (about 9"x13").
• Flour chicken and sear in skillet over medium/medium high.
• Season chicken with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and lemon pepper.
• Once chicken is golden brown remove from heat.
• Add onions and some butter in a large pot.
• Lightly sautee onions.
• Mix cream of chicken cans and water thoroughly.
• Add to the onions.
• Bring soup mix to boil while adding seasoning: Italian, garlic, and lemon pepper.
• Because this is getting absorbed in the rice I recommend adding at least 3-4 tablespoons of each to avoid being bland (your preference).
• Once boiling, add 3/4 of the soup mix to the rice.
• Use fork to mix rice with soup thoroughly.
• Add the cooked chicken underneath the rice.
• Spread evenly and pour remaining soup mix on top.
• Cook in oven for 45-55 minutes or until top looks crunchy.
• If it's still soupy it needs more time.
