  1. This did not turn out well for me. The chicken never cooked through and the rice was still crunchy after cooking for almost an hour. I ended up microwaving the chicken just to make it edible. My 2 quart baking dish is deep and round, which may have had something to do with it, but I'm afraid I probably won't try it again with a different dish to find out.
     
  2. So I made this last night... and I kind of accidentally added a can of cheddar cheese soup. I could've sworn the recipe called for it. But the good news is, it didn't turn out terrible. Granted I did have to cook it a little longer to thicken it up a bit, but it was good. The only negative, which probably won't affect many people is that I used the chunks of broccoli instead of just the florets and my lapband didn't enjoy the huge chunks. So next time I will just use the florets. Oh and I cooked the chicken before I added it, so mine was fully cooked, but I didn't cook the rice before hand and it turned out just fine.
     
  3. This did not turn out very well for me. The chicken and rice did not cook all the way through, and I left it in the oven for an extra 10 minutes. The rice was partly my fault because I used basmati rice rather than white rice, but the chicken was still raw in the middle at 40 minutes. I think it would have been good if the rice and chicken were cooked right, but it takes more than 45 minutes. :(

I love soup in all it's forms! Chowders, bisques, broths, whatever, it's all yummy. I often add my own spices to dishes, but who doesn't?! My cat Koopa likes to watch me cook, and my other cat Poe likes to get underfoot.
