Chicken and Rice Dinner

  Chicken and Rice, what’s not to like. This recipe from Taste of Home, which is a family recipe from Peter Baumert of Jameson, Missouri has become one of our favorites too.

  In the introduction to the recipe, his wife says that the chicken cooks to a golden brown and the rice is packed with flavor. Both comments are true. Simple to make, served with a salad or vegetable and you have a prefect meal. This is one recipe I have made often since finding it. Hope you will enjoy it also.
