Chicken, Rice, and Gravy

This meal is perfect on a cold day, especially if you have been running around all day. I will normally do this in the Crock Pot but you can also do it in the stove if you prefer. For the rice you can either cook it fresh or precook it and heat it up. If I know I will have a busy week then I will cook 10-12 cups and use it throughout the week.

I normally do 3 breasts but if we our really short I have done 2 and then make a bit more gravy. Also for a family of six I am counting 2.25 lbs of chicken or usually about 4-5 breasts. You can choose how much you need based on your family, ie young kids vs teenage boys.

Chicken and Gravy
3 chicken breast (about 1 ½ lbs)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 c sour cream
½ c milk
4 cups rice, cooked (2 cups uncooked)

Cut the chicken into cubes. In a bowl mix the soup, sour cream and milk well. Then add the chicken and mix. Pour into a casserole dish and bake at 300 for 1 hour.

Or use the crock pot, Low 6 hours, high 3-4 hours.

Serves 4
