I had tried this recipe one time in the past. Leftovers were good, but a little bland. I bought all the cans but forgot the onion soup mix. Didn't want to make another trip just for onion soup.

Here's what I did. I added powdered chicken bullion and minced onions substituting for the onion soup, cayenne, to zip it up, and oregano for a little more taste. What are some of your substitutions?



Subject: Re: Chicken and rice

Melt 1 stick of butter
Add 2 packages of rice.
Stir
then 1 can of mushroom soup with one can of water
add 1 can of cream of chicken soup with 1 can of water
Add 1/2 package of Lipton onion soup
Add 1/2 jar of mushrooms
Salt chicken and add to mixture
Cook 2 hours at 350 degrees

That's pretty much what my wife does.

Define ‘packages of rice’. Please

I never asked. I just used Uncle Bens. This recipe came from my neighbor/driver. We mostly talked about politics and food. He kept repeating that chicken and rice was one of his favorites. I don't cook enough chicken at home.

I thought about adding balsamic vinegar, but passed. I use it mostly on beef dishes.

I would do fresh mushrooms sautéed in a skillet then added

I would imagine Uncle Ben's rice is 1 cup uncooked rice just from looking at the size of the box.
