• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Dice or chop chicken breasts into desired chunks, set aside.  In large covered casserole dish combine rice, water, cream soups, vegetables, bouillon, salt, and pepper.  Season the chicken breasts with poultry seasoning and add to the rice mixture.  Cover and bake for about an hour and a half.  About half way through the cooking time, uncover and stir .. add additional water if the rice mixture seems to be clumpy or solid.  Cover and continue to bake for the remaining time.

Busy Day!

Had a pretty busy day today, doing "spring cleaning" .. even though it's no where near spring yet.  No time for much of anything other than that, so I'm grateful to have made a two day meal yesterday. 

I'm a fan of two day meals.  Whether it be a roast with all the fixings, a huge pot of spaghetti or chili, or even a nice casserole, or a huge tray of enchiladas .. two day meals are economical and a definite time saver when you have other things planned the next day. 

I'm hoping to share some of things I make on a regular basis, that are both time saving and money saving, especially if you have a few mouths to feed.

Thanks for stopping by .. we'll see what I get posted for you guys tonight.
