Clever Casserole: {Lemon Pepper Chicken & Rice}

Printer-Friendly Recipe



Clever Casseroles: more alliteration!  I know, the cheesiness abounds, but there's something I love about so many letters rolling off the tongue so easily.  This is another UN-recipe; a recipe so simple and so delicious, I'm almost embarrassed to admit I didn't come up with it myself.  This is another from the great mind of my sister-in-law, Sarah, who also brought us the delicious alfredo sauce recipe.

This is one of the easiest weeknight meals you will ever cook.  There are only 4 ingredients (5 if you count the water), and they all come together so quickly, and simply that you will be amazed.  I'm not usually a lover of rice, but this rice cooks in the sauce, and it all comes together like a gravy.  It's delicious.  So, even if you're not a rice lover, give this a try anyway!  You could probably try it with Orzo pasta, too.  I haven't attempted it yet, but I will in the future, and I'll update you when I do!
