Our family is really lucky that we have such expertise to fall back on when it comes to cooking. Due to us cooking much more, I can safely say I&#8217;m starting to understand why recipes are just the base of how to cook. Most of the stuff that makes the recipe so good is picked up by cooking a lot and knowing what to add. This little bit of extra is very hard to document, though I try my best in these recipes that I post. We had this Italian chicken and rice last night and it was so much better than the last time we tried it! Last time I think we followed the typed up instructions letter for letter (and I think I forgot to read the comments from my mom). It more than left something to be desired. </p>
<p><strong>Yield</strong><br />
4 servings</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients</strong><br />
* 1 and 1/2 cups water<br />
* 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked<br />
* 1/2 cup chopped onion<br />
* 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese<br />
* 1 and 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning<br />
* 1/2 teaspoon <a href="http://www.mrsdash.com/products/seasoning-garlic-herb.aspx">salt-free garlic-and-herb spice blend</a> (Mrs. Dash)<br />
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper (we always use fresh ground pepper)<br />
* 1/4 teaspoon salt<br />
* 1 (14 and 1/2oz.) can no-salt-added whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped (we used diced tomatoes with garlic and Italian seasoning)<br />
* Vegetable cooking spray<br />
* 4 (4 oz.) skinned, boned chicken breast halves<br />
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder<br />
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese<br />
* 1 and 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning (there is a reason this is on here twice, pay attention to the directions below)<br />
* 2-3 Tbsp of olive oil<br />
* 1/2 cup white wine</p>
<p><strong>Preparation</strong><br />
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.<br />
Brown chicken breasts in olive oil over medium high heat. About half way through, poor the wine in and mix.<br />
While you are browning the chicken, combine first 9 ingredients in a 2 qt. casserole coated with the vegetable cooking spray and stir well.<br />
Arrange chicken breasts over rice mixture and sprinkle with garlic powder.<br />
Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning.<br />
Cover and bake at 375F for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. </p>
<p><strong>Notes</strong><br />
This past time it was amazing! However we didn&#8217;t have any <a href="http://www.mrsdash.com/products/seasoning-garlic-herb.aspx">Mrs. Dash</a> so we used <a href="http://www.goya.com/english/products/product.html?prodSubCatID=7&#038;prodCatID=4">Adobo</a>. We also added a little bit more Italian seasoning and some basil as well. We went heavy on all the cheese which obviously made it taste better. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. It&#8217;s a simple recipe that you can throw together relatively quickly, then just wait on it to bake. It&#8217;s great for when you&#8217;re having company so you can prep beforehand then entertain. * I obtained this recipe from my mom and she added some steps to the original recipe to make it really good.</p>
