Chicken and Rice..mighty NICE!
Your family is going to Love smelling this easy to make weeknight dinner when they walk in the door!
My mom used to make this quite a bit when I was growing up. Add a tossed salad and a steamed vegetable and you have a great dinner that is super simple meal. If you have a busy schedule, you know that getting dinner ready is no small task!
I fact I love that this dish can be assembled first thing in the morning or even the night before and ready to put in the oven. This dish does take an hour and a half, but then it is ready.
Pop it in at 5 and eat at 6:30. No worries. If you have someone coming home earlier than you, just make sure they know to turn the oven on 350 and set the timer once they put this, still covered in foil casserole in the oven.
I have one of those Pampered Chef baking stone pans with the stone wear lid that I love so use whatever you have. In fact, this can also be put into a dutch oven and go straight from the oven to the table when it is done.
Trying to keep meal time as stress-free as possible, especially on a school night is a great goal to have and a simple dinner that doesn’t create mounds of dishes…or take-out boxes, really helps with balancing time and budget.
