Notes
This recipe is easy to divide in half for two people or increase up to 3 cups of rice and 3 cans of beef consomme. The ratio of rice to soup is 1:1. One can of soup for each cup of rice.
Be mindful of the baking dish when dividing or doubling this recipe.
A small 10" x 7.5" x 3" baking dish works well for a dinner for two.
A larger 9" x 13" rectangular baking dish works well for a larger group.
Substitute chicken breasts for chicken legs, chicken thighs or a combination of all the chicken!
