Sandie and I brainstormed, I tinkered

I put this together one night, and the family sucked it in. Great with a green veggie as a side.

Ingredients

3-4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

(other chicken cuts can be substituted)

1 can Cream of (chicken or mushroom) soup

1/4 cup Milk

2 cups Uncooked (Uncle Ben's) brown rice

(or white, if your family protests)

4 cups Water (to cook rice)

1 package Shredded white cheese

(italian mix, mozzarella, swiss, etc.)

Extra salt/pepper/spice to customize -if wished- after first taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Skillet-brown or electric-grill chicken until done

(on my electric grill it's about 12 min if it starts frozen)

While chicken is browning, start rice to cook (combine rice and water, place on stove on high, when comes to a boil, turn it to lowest heat that will continue little bubbles and let it cook about 10 minutes. Taste test for doneness BEFORE removing it from heat.).

Place chicken in casserole dish or large cake pan.

Drain rice (if needed) and combine rice, mushroom soup, milk and cheese. Stir.

Pour the rice mixture over the chicken.

Put in oven to bake for about 5-10 minutes or until hot enough to be yummy (remember, all the ingredients are "done" and don't really need to be cooked at this point.)

Serve and smile. Congratulations! Now you're a true "Gourmet Goof-off!"

Cook's Notes

This can be tinkered with so many ways to preference. Brown rice adds more nutrition. Boneless, skinless breasts are easier for me, but if you want to cut up your own chicken, it really is cheaper (it's just not for me). Extra salt/pepper/spice to taste, esp if "as is" seems bland for your region's cuisine. Customize to wishes.
