Chicken and Rice CasseroleDiet Chicken and Rice Casserole defies the theory that weight watchers food is bland and boring. This simple to prepare dish can take on any flavor that you like. Because it is a casserole you can add an extra vegetable or two, or maybe some herbs if that's what you like. This way you end up with a dish that is uniquely you. By adding one or two items that are favorites in your family you guarantee they will never ask whether this is a weight watchers meal. (Ahhhhhh! Psychology and recipes all on the same site :) ) When cooking a casserole the cooking time isn't too rigid. If you leave the meal on for an extra half hour you do no damage to it. If you have to delay dinner for an hour or more just turn the oven temperature down low and leave it there.

8 pieces of Chicken - Thigh (boned) is good to use in this recipe
1 1/3 Cup uncooked Rice
2 Tbsp. Pimento
1 small can sliced Mushrooms and juice
1 pkg. dry Onion Soup Mix
1/2 stick Butter
1/2 Bell Pepper (Capsicum) Method:
In a 3 quarts casserole dish melt butter, add rice, pimento and chopped bell pepper and mushrooms. Lay chicken pieces on rice.
Spoon soup over chicken.

Cover with foil. Bake for 1 1/2 hours at 325 degrees Farenheit (Around 165C).
