Expert Tips

Other rice mixes of a similar size can be used in this recipe, but be sure to look for fast-cooking mixes, which cook in less than 15 minutes.

You can jazz up this casserole by adding either 1/4 cup sliced almonds, 1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries or a 4.5-ounce jar of Green Giant® sliced mushrooms, drained, with the rice mix.

This was great! I used saffron rice with shredded carrots and sprinkled the chicken with a greek chicken spice my Aunt game me. The chicken was very moist and tender. I froze the left overs and it was great a second time as well.

I really enjoyed this recipe. The rice (same as suggested) had great flavor and the chicken was extremely tender. Since I was only cooking for two, I used only one box of rice and halved the butter, water and carrots. I only used two chicken breasts which I cut in half lengthwise (preference). I then put in an 8x8 pan and cooked the same amount of time. (If using more than 2 breasts for half recipe, I would suggest using a 9x11 pan). I cooked for 55 minutes and it turned out great. It is so quick to prepare which was something I was looking for and I will definitely make again. Thanks Betty Crocker for a great recipe.
