Chicken and Brown Rice

This is one of my favorite, very low-fat meals that I make for my family. My picky daughter will even eat it. I don't normally like brown rice but if you cook it this way it turns out really good and it's super easy too. It does take a few hours though so if you work, it's a good one for the weekend.

Ingredients:
2 cups Brown Rice
4 cups Chicken Broth
1 small can of mushrooms
6 (or less) Chicken Breasts
1 pkg. Dry onion soup mix

Spray a 9x13 pan. Combine rice, broth, and mushrooms. Place chicken on top. Sprinkle onion soup mix on top. Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 2 - 2 1/2 hours or until rice is done. (You may need to add more liquid if the broth evaporates before the rice is done.)

If you are doing Weight Watchers this comes out to 7 points. That's if you have 1 cup of cooked rice and a chicken breast. From what I could figure I think it's about 350ish calories and about 4 grams of fat.

I hope you like it!!

I made this recipe today and overall think it came out good! The rice and mushrooms were especially a hit. The chicken itself came out a little bland for our taste, but I think that can be easily remedied by adding herbs/spices/light marinade etc. I would definitely make this again :)

P.S. I forgot to take pictures! Oh well, next time!
