Caesar Chicken and Rice

This is another easy and quick recipe that has a lot of bold flavor. I got it out of the Wal-mart cookbook and it was called "Laura's Chicken and Rice," but I don't know this particular Laura so I took the liberty to rename the chicken in a way that makes more sense. :) However, thank you mystery Laura for a surprisingly yummy meal.

Caesar Chicken and Rice

* 6 Skinless, boneless chicken breast (or enough for your family, I only made 3)
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 1/4 tsp. pepper
* 3/4 cup Caesar salad dressing
* 2 tablespoon minced onion
* Parmesan cheese
* Cooked Rice

1. Put the rice on to cook. (This is also when I put my fresh green beans on to steam) In a separate pan, add about 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat. Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper and then add to the oil. Cook over medium-high heat for 10 to 20 minutes or until no longer pink, turning once.
Here is everything cooking at once. :)
2. While the chicken is cooking, mix the salad dressing and onions in a small bowl. When the chicken is done, remove it from the pan and add the salad dressing mixture. (The recipe didn't say to drain the oil. I think in the future I will drain most of the oil.) Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 2-3 minutes.
3. Layer the rice, chicken breast and then top with the salad dressing mixture. Mmm, yummy! Just be aware that a little of the dressing goes a long way. It is very bold.

Serves: 6
