Really tasty chicken & rice! I made this delicious recipe to serve just one-two, so I cut the ingredients in 1/4 and baked a shorter time (only 1 hour). I used two boneless chicken breasts, cream of chicken soup (instead of mushroom), & added my own spices along with the paprika on top. I also added a few shredded carrots to the rice on bottom and a little olive oil over breasts. Instead of just water, I combined chicken broth with the water. This was delicious! The chicken breasts arose on top to brown as the rice and carrots cooked down & absorbed the liquids. The rice was also browned as were the chicken breasts. Quick and easy with a surprisingly rich taste.
