That sounds sooo good! I love cabbage ANYTHING. Nana's cabbage rolls are the best, but I have no patience for rolling cabbage rolls. I bet this tastes similar to her rolls!

I might replace the tomato soup with something else tomato-ey, though...I can only find condensed soup loaded with preservatives and bad stuff.

Baked Chicken n' Rice

(My funeral/shower/simple/potluck/sunday dinner)

1 whole chicken (thawed) 2-3 lbs

1 cup rice

1 cup milk

1 can cream of chicken

1 can cream of mushroom

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven 350. Season chicken and place in baking dish (corningware 2.5 quart, pincess house chicken roaster). Put lid on dish. Bake for 1 hour. Mix milk, rice, cream of chicken and mushroom and pour over and around chicken and stir into juices at the bottom of the dish. Bake covered for 45 mins or until rice is done. Pull entire chicken out of rice if eating at home so it is easier to cut. Be careful, it will be falling apart. Serve with creamy rice...

Makes a good presentation for a speacial occaision. Not very healthy but then it came from the south.

To me they look drier than they taste, kwim? The chops fall apart but the meat isn't juicy. The smell of them cooking is awesome.

I can't wait to try some of the other recipes.

2. Wash, cut off leaves, and cut strawberries in half.
3. Either dip strawberries OR pour mixture over plated strawberry halves
4. Enjoy

Glad you liked it, Arly! It's great as a coating for pork chops, turkey/chicken breasts, whatever you would ordinarily want breaded. It's divine on fish too. You just change up the seasonings. We had it for dinner last night with dried parsley, sage & garlic powder. Yum!
