Easy Chicken and Rice

By: Karen

"This is very easy to make, with ingredients that you might usually have on hand. It gets its flavor from dry soup mix. Try it with some fresh, steamed vegetables."

2 tablespoons shortening
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
3/4 cup instant rice, uncooked
1 chopped green bell pepper (optional)

Melt the shortening in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute the chicken sections in the shortening for 2 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
