Chicken And Rice Casserole

Ingredients

• 2 - 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups uncooked rice
• 4 cups water
• 1 cup frozen peas (or 1 can)
• 1 cup frozen corn (or 1 can)
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 can cream of celery soup (or cream of chicken)
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

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.

~ This is one of my favorite quick and easy dishes.  You can add what you want vegetable wise, but the variety of different colors is truly appealing.  A two day time saving, money saving meal! ~

Welcome To Cooking With Kaos

Hey everyone!  Welcome to my first ever blog.  I thought it would be kind of a cool idea to start a blog about what everyone loves .. food!  I'm no chef by any means.  I'm just a housewife, that has to cook and feed a family, most times on a budget.

So, I'm here to share some of the recipes I've tried and enjoyed.

I love watching all the famous chefs on television, and on occasion, I pick up a few pointers and give them a try for myself at home .. sometimes with my own twist, sometimes I just need to improvise.  Usually it turns out, sometimes it doesn't .. but you never know, until you try.

I'm hoping to make a positive impact to kitchens across the states .. sit back, relax, cook, and enjoy!
