Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Chicken and Rice

This recipe has been 'round the block and then some. I used to make it for my family back in the day but for some reason, I haven't made it in years. Until the other day when I thought about it and wondered to myself why on earth I stopped. Well...I'm bringing back this throw back recipe that we've all had at some point in our lives because if you're like me...you loved it then...and you'll love it now!

Chicken and Rice 



1 cup rice
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (may use cream of chicken, cream of celery or a combination)
1 cup of milk
6 - 8 chicken thighs (may use boneless, skinless or boneless skinless chicken breasts)
1 packet dry onion soup mix

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.

Spread rice in the bottom of the prepared pan.

Lay the chicken on top of the rice.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soup and the milk then pour over the chicken.

Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over the top.

Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour or until chicken is cooked through.

Okay...this is all you need for this simple dish.
