The U.S. Department
of Agriculture, as well as food agencies in the United Kingdom and elsewhere,
advises against washing poultry. Rinsing chicken will not remove or kill much
bacteria, and the splashing of water around the sink can spread the bacteria
found in raw chicken. Cooking poultry to 165 degrees Fahrenheit effectively
destroys the most common culprits behind food-borne illness.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine rice blend,
water, and salt; bring just to a boil. Stir once, cover
with a tight fitting lid, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 25 minutes.
NOTE: You don't want to cook the rice all the way, as it will finish cooking in
the oven. Remove from heat and pour rice in an large ungreased casserole dish.
Place chicken breast halves onto the top of the rice mixture.
In a medium bowl, combine mushroom soup with the water or milk,
and herbs of your choice.
Pour mixture over the top of the chicken.
Bake, covered, 45 to 60 minutes
or until a
meat thermometer registers an internal temperature
of 165 degrees F (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife).
Remove from oven and serve. Makes 4 servings. |
This

haven't planned your dinner ahead. This recipe is very easy to make and always a
favorite with men, especially my husband. I've adapted this recipe to make
it healthier and lower in fat.
