Chicken and Rice

Easy Chicken and Rice Casserole
6-8 chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
1.5 cup sour cream
2 regular sized can cream of chicken soup
2 box of Zatarin's chicken flavored rice (follow directions on box)
Garlic salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Boil your chicken, in chicke stock, the same time you're cooking the rice (separate saucepans of course). It takes about 25 minutes for each. Combine the cooked, shredded chicken with the sour cream and soup, stir in the rice. I add a bit of the chicken broth that I boiled the chicken in to make it a bit more 'saucy'. Add your rice and salt and pepper and plop it all into a medium sized casserole dish. Place in oven to heat through - 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

To fancy it up a bit, I sprinkled some dried stuffing mix I had with a few tablespoons of butter on the top. It's not necessary, but was a fun little add. It's simple and delicious - a good home cooked meal. You could pair this with a side salad and some green beans. Enjoy!
