  Use brown rice. Broil or bake the chicken breast with yummo seasonings.

  Make it Asian with some veggies garlic, ginger and soy sauce.

  Mmm my mom makes the best chicken casserole with campbell’s crema of mushroom soup, and a crunchy stuffing topping on top. It’s so good, and we put it on top of rice and that’s even better!

  There are a number of options. Two of our family favorites are:

  Mexican Chicken and Rice

  Rub chicken breasts with a mixture of 1/4 t. each of garlic salt, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, and (optional) 1/8 t. dried chilis. Heat 1 T olive oil in saute pan and sear breasts for 1 minute each side.

  Meanwhile heat boil 2 C water and add 1 cup long grain rice. Cook until just done.

  Spray baking dish with Pam-type spray. Add rice. Top with 1 (16 ounce) jar salsa, 1 (11 ounce) can mexicorn or corn, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add chicken breasts and bake uncovered for 20 minutes in a 325 degree oven or until chicken juices run clear. Sprinkle with a 1/4 C of cheese if you prefer right before serving.

  Chicken and Rice Lettuce Wraps

  Prepare rice according to package directions, adding 1 t. garlic salt.

  Season chicken breasts liberally with salt & pepper. Sear for 1 minute on each side in a saute pan with 1 T heated olive oil. Add 1/4 C chicken stock, 2 T favorite sauce (hoisin, sweet & sour, etc.) and reduce to med-high. Add 1 C thinly sliced carrots, 2 stalks celery chopped fine, 1 can drained water chestnuts chopped fine, 2 cloves garlic smashed & chopped fine, and 1/2 t. sugar. When chicken is cooked through (juices are clear), remove from pan and shred with forks. Add to shredded chicken & rice to pan and toss to coat.

  Finely chop 1/2 small onion. Wash & dry 6-8 large lettuce leaves. Add 1/4 C of chicken & rice mixture to center of lettuce. Add onion to taste, and wrap lettuce around like a soft taco. Dip in favorite sauce used when cooking.

  My mom’s chicken and rice is SO GOOD.
  Take a good amount of chicken thighs (probably 8 or so small ones) and cook them in chicken broth in a pressure cooker until fork tender. Keep the juice!! Add rice to the broth and cook until fork tender. Shred the chicken apart, add to the rice, add salt/butter and it is done!

  Bake the chicken using cream of chicken/mushroom/celery or whatever low sodium soup, or just use chicken broth. Add veggies of your choice and the rice. When done add low-fat cheese on top, or sauteed onions/mushrooms or a McCormick’s spice blend. It’s easy to make this a one dish meal rather than have veggies on the side.
  you can substitute the rice with stuffing mix and have a one dish meal as well.
