Foil Packet Chicken & Rice Casserole

Chicken & Rice Casserole
Serves: 4


INGREDIENTS:

1 can (10 1/2 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups unsalted chicken stock (from 32-oz carton)
3 teaspoons Montreal chicken seasoning
2 cups uncooked instant white rice
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1 cup halved, seeded and sliced mini sweet peppers
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
4 slices cooked bacon, coarsely chopped
2 green onions, sliced


DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray. Or make it in the oven.  * See Options for directions.

2. Measure 1/2 cup of the condensed soup, and reserve. In a 4-cup glass measuring cup, mix the remaining condensed soup, the chicken stock and 1 teaspoon of the seasoning; beat with whisk to blend. Add instant rice; stir and let stand for about 8 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir in carrots and peppers.

3. Season chicken with remaining 2 teaspoons seasoning; place on center of each sheet of foil. Dividing evenly, spoon rice and vegetable mixture around each chicken breast. Divide any remaining soaking liquid over the tops of the breasts. Spread 2 tablespoons of reserved soup over each breast; evenly top with bacon.

4. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making a tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.

5. Place the packs on the grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook for 10 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 9 to 10 minutes longer, or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165 degrees F). Remove packs from the grill; cut a large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil, and garnish with green onions.


OPTIONS:

For a different flavor, substitute golden condensed mushroom soup for cream of chicken soup in this recipe.

*  To make it in the oven, place packs on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F for 32 to 35 minutes, or until the juice of chicken is clear when the center of the thickest part is cut (at least 165 degrees F).
