EASY AND YUMMY "Chicken and Rice Casserole"

I really like making this chicken and rice casserole during busy week nights. It only takes a few minutes to assemble and my hubby loves it.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups uncooked Minute Rice
1 package Lipton's Onion Soup Mix, dry
1 cup water
Boneless, skinless chicken (About 12 small thighs or 6 large chicken breasts, cut in half.)
McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning (or any other seasoning you prefer.)
1 can cream of chicken soup, mixed with 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (or water)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Preparation:
In 12 x 9 baking dish, pour the 2 cups of uncooked Minute Rice. Sprinkle the dry soup mix over this evenly. Pour the one cup water over rice and soup mix. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the rice; sprinkle with the Montreal seasoning to taste.
Pour the cream of chicken soup/broth or water mixture over all. Sprinkle with cheese if desired. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for about 60-70 minutes. Let it sit for about 5 minutes or so before serving. Makes about 6 servings.

*You can substitute other cream-of soups, like cream of mushroom, if you want.
*You can also use whole grain for a healthier option and leave off the cheese.
