1 1/2 pounds skinned and boned chicken breasts |
2 (8.8-ounce) pouches ready-to-serve long-grain rice |
4 bacon slices, diced |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed |
1 (4-ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |

Directions:
1. Cut chicken into 1/4-inch slices, and set aside.
2. Heat rice according to package directions; set aside.
3. Sauté bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat 8 minutes or until crisp; remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet.
4. Sauté onion in hot drippings in skillet 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in chicken, and sauté 8 minutes or until chicken is done. Stir in rice, bacon, peas, and next 3 ingredients; cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Garnish, if desired.
