Chicken and Rice

I found this recipe while browsing through the pages of my 365 Easy Chicken Recipes cookbook. I just happened to have all the ingredients on hand (this rarely happens...but I love it when it does) so I decided to make it for dinner last night. It took about 5 minutes to put together and the smell that came from the oven while it cooked was intoxicating! It was delicious; the chicken was tender and the rice was flavorful and not too mushy (I hate mushy rice).
