Chicken & Rice!

Ok, now everyone has me all nervous, I hope that you like these recipes! They are really really simple, nothing fancy, but very yummy and healthy!!! So, this is what we had tonight!
 
 Chicken & Rice-
2-2 1/2 lbs. Chicken Thighs
1/2 a bag of mixed vegetables (or just modge podge some frozen veggies that you have on hand)
2 Cups of Brown Rice (real, not the instant)
3 Cups of Chicken Broth (about 3/4 of one of those boxes)
1 Cup of Water
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Tad bit of Tony Chachere's (I like to use this, no msg)

Preheat oven to 375.  Place chicken thighs on the bottom of the biggest pirex you have! (This makes a lot!)
Salt and Pepper your chicken, I put quite a bit of salt on mine.... Disperse the vegetables over the chicken.  Pour the rice all over.  Pour the broth and water over all of that, make sure there is not any rice that is with out liquid.  Cover the dish with foil and stick it in the oven for about 2 hours.  Just check on it to see if the rice is done, since everyone's oven is different!

*This serves 6 easily, we are a family of 3 eaters (Eli not quite yet), so we eat half of this and then have it for left overs the next night, it's a great one for left overs! If you are mom this is nice because you get a break the next day!

*I got some of this from my Aunt Nelda and some from my mother in law, combined their ideas and came up with this!

*Just wanted to say also, that this is a great one to put on while the kids are napping and then it is ready for dinner with out the stress! One dish BONUS!
