Ready for a delicious comfort meal?  This Maple & Rice Chicken Bake is it!

This Maple & Rice Chicken Bake was one of the first post that I ever did on this blog!  I actually adapted it from this recipe for Maple Rosemary Chicken on $5 Dinners.

Slowly but surely, I have been revisiting some of my past recipes to retake pictures. Yes, many of my pictures from my early days make me cringe!  I guess it is nice though to see how far you have come.

This meal was absolutely perfect for a crisp, fall evening!  It was warm, hearty and delicious.  The hint of maple gives the chicken and rice a burst of rich flavor.

Chicken and rice is actually one of my favorite meals, back when I first started cooking I made it plain most of the time.

That is how I grew up on it though was simply a cream of chicken flavor.  Now, I have learned to add spices to give it a whole new flavor.

What do you need for Maple & Rice Chicken Bake?

This bake is so simple to put together taking mere minutes, then simply pop it in the oven for about an hour and you are all set!

When you are preparing it you will basically be placing the chicken in a 9 x 13 casserole dish then adding in the maple mixture, rice, cream of mushroom or chicken, and then a little bit of water.

Once it is done baking, you will have a delicious juicy chicken with creamy rice.

While the chicken is cooking, I also add a pan of asparagus seasoned with olive oil and garlic salt to the oven.  I let this cook for about 20 minutes until they are nice and soft!

Now are you ready for a bite of this delicious dinner?!  I know I am!

Enjoy!
