Balsamic Chicken With Ginger Rice
"Adapted from "Not Your Mother's Casseroles" by Faith Durand. I halved the recipe and baked it in two individual 16-ounce baking dishes for convenience. I thought the ginger-garlic rice would have been better with more Asian flavors; next time I'm going to try soy sauce and Shaoxing wine."

What a disaster. When I opened the foil from the casserole dish, I discovered my chicken swimming in brown liquid among hard kernels of rice. After cutting and chopping the garlic and ginger, and adding the always great ingredient (who hasn't had a wonderful recipe once you've included balsamic vinegar?), I expected....well, not a brown soup of uncooked rice.<br/><br/>Thank goodness for Trader Joe's frozen microwavable rice and for soy sauce. <br/><br/>Surely you didn't mean minute rice? Ewwww. But at least after baking at 400 for 45 minutes it might have been cooked???

After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
