This is very easy to make, with ingredients that you might usually have on hand. It gets its flavor from dry soup mix. Try it with some fresh, steamed vegetables.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons shortening
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
3/4 cup instant rice, uncooked
1 chopped green bell pepper (optional)
2 cups water
1/8 cup chicken rice soup mix
Directions:
1. Melt the shortening in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute the chicken sections in the shortening for 2 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
2. Add the rice and green bell pepper, if desired, and saute for 3 minutes, or until slightly browned. Add the soup mix and water and stir together well. Bring this to a boil, then add the chicken, reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes.
