Recipe of the Week – Baked Chicken and Rice
(From the Easy Recipes I Can Cook Collection at emealsforyou.com)
Baked Chicken and Rice
A cold front, of course in January it would be considered a warm front, came through the Ohio Valley yesterday. What this means to me is that I have to start to consider wearing socks again… I hate socks. It also means comfort food; good food with little effort. When I make this baked chicken and rice I usually wind up thinking, “I should make this more often.”
As you can see above, this recipe is in our Easy Recipe I Can Cook category of our website: www.emealsforyou.com. I buy the chicken breasts when they are on sale at the market then freeze them until I need them. Thaw them, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper, spread the rice and onions, pop in the oven and there you have it. I served this with spinach but you can put whatever vegetable you can get your kids to eat with it. I finished with some homemade Lemon Italian Ice, another very easy recipe you can make.
