I just made this tonight, with barely anything in the cupboard. I served it up with some crescent rolls and use a bag of Uncle Ben's garlic butter rice. If you use regular rice, I suggest putting two tablespoons butter and some garlic powder in with your rice while it simmers. Feel free to add a bag of frozen veggies in. I normally don't buy them except for specific things, so I didn't have them.
Ingredients:
3 small chicken breasts
1 cup cooked rice
3/4 cup cubed velveeta cheese
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 pint whipping cream
1/2 chicken bouillon cube
pepper (optional)
4 ounces frozen mixed vegetables, of your choice (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Cook rice as per directions on box or bag, more rice can be used but at least a cup.
3. Combine can of cream of chicken with whipping cream, mix well. Add chicken bullion cube.
4. Take chicken breasts and slice into inch, inch and a half strips (if you want to keep them whole, adjust cooking time).
5. Pour rice, cream of chicken mixture, and cheese into a medium sized casserole dish.
6. Bury chicken strips into mixture.
7. Add pepper to taste and veggies (optional).
8. Mix well and cover with tinfoil.
9. Check chicken to see if its done after about 40 minutes, depends on if you kept them whole or how big the strips are.
