Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole

From the Kitchen of: Summer Cronin

1 can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)

1 1/3 cup water

3/4 cup uncooked white rice

2 cup fresh or frozen vegetables (optional, but broccoli tastes great with this)

1/2 tsp. onion powder (if you don't have it, leave it out. Or, substitute real onion)

1/4 tsp. black pepper

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1. Stir soup, water, rice, veggies, onion powder, and pepper in a 12x8 shallow baking dish.

2. Top with chicken. Sprinkle chicken with additional pepper. Cover

3. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes, or until chicken is done. Top with cheese.

Serves 4-6. I really like to include cheese in the mixture. Takes like 5 minutes to prepare- great last-minute-meal deal!
