I've been wanting to try to make a recipe like this for a while since the hubby isn't a fan of chicken I thought he might like it at least with the rice. And he did :) He is on a broccoli/cheese kick lately so here's the latest recipe!
1 pkg chicken (3-4 boneless skinless breasts)
3/4 c chicken broth
3/4 c rice
1 pkg frozen broccoli florets
1/4 c lemon juice
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of broccoli soup (or broccoli cheese)
Salt/Pepper
Mix all ingredients but the chicken and put in a square baking dish. Season chicken with salt and pepper (and anything else you might like). Put on top of rice mixture. Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees.
My suggestions - not sure what size baking dish I was using, I think just a standard size one and the rice mixture didn't even coat the bottom of it barely so I might up the quantity of everything slightly next time. I also seasoned my chicken with garlic salt, onion powder, and pepper - I put it on the george foreman for about 4 minutes just to start it cooking although the recipe didn't call for it. Finally, I added some shredded cheddar cheese on top to make it even cheesier! :)

White Chicken Chili
Got this recipe from my co-worker Milena. She brought it in to one of our food days and I just had to have to recipe! Worked out well...see my suggestions at the end though!
3 cups diced onion
2 cups diced celery
5 garlic cloves, chopped
olive oil
1-2 lbs chicken breast, cubed
10 cups water
1 bay leaf
1 (7 oz) can chopped green chilies (find these by the mexican food!)
1 tbsp white pepper (black will do though)
1 tsp oregano
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp basil
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
1/2 of a 7 oz can of chipotle in adobo, chopped
4 tbsp chicken base
1 pickled jalapeno, chopped
3 cans of white beans (Great Northern)
1/2 c heavy cream
Saute onions and celery in 2 tbsps of olive oil for about 5 mins over medium heat. Add in chicken. Cook until chicken is about 1/2 done. Add garlic, all spices and peppers. Cook this together for about 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken base and then slowly add the water and crank the heat up. Once you bring to a slow boil, lower the heat to medium-low. Add the beans and cream and let simmer for at least an hour.
My suggestions:
1. I would add at least another can or two of beans and make sure you use the two pounds of chicken. I like mine with more stuff! Also, could have been a little thicker for me so next time I might add some corn starch towards the end.
2. My husband suggested maybe removing the beans and adding noodles to make it chicken noodle soup! It's a perfect broth for it!
3. As far as ingredients go - I didn't do the chipotle in adobo because that just adds more spice and my husband isn't a huge spicy person. I substituted the Old Bay seasoning and Cajun seasoning with seasoned salt and garlic salt. I used garlic powder instead of fresh because I didn't have any.
