Chicken & rice is one of my husband's favorite meals. I love it because it's easy, filling, and pretty much a great comfort food. Especially on rainy nights stuck indoors.

Here's the recipe in case you're in need of some comfort food yourself.


Baked Chicken & Rice

6 T. butter
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp. salt
2 1/4 c. milk
1 1/2 c. chicken broth
3 c. cooked chicken, chopped
2 1/4 c. cooked rice (1 c. uncooked)

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a large saucepan. Stir in flour and salt to make a roux. Cook over med. heat, stirring constantly until bubbly, remove from heat. Stir in milk and broth, return to stove top. Bring mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in chicken and cooked rice. Pour into an ungreased 13"x9" baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 40 - 45 minutes. Serve with your favorite veggies. Enjoy!
