That I know I made once a few years ago, but have no idea where I got the recipe from. My sister wants to make this for dinner tonight but I cannot find the recipe anywhere.

it was something like put rice in a pan, put chicken on top and dump cranberry sauce on it and bake. There might have been cinammon involved.

Help, she's wants to make it for dinner tonight. . . .

Thanks.

Is this what you mean Annie?

Glazed Chicken Bake

1 1/2 rice
2 cups boiling water
3 scallions, chopped
1(16 oz) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 (8 oz) bottle of French dressing
1 (1.2 once) envelope dry onion soup mix
5 bone-in chicken breasts, skinned
1 (10 oz) package of frozen mixed vegetables

1. Preheat oven to 350. In bottom of 9x13" pan, combine rice, boiling water and scallions. Mix well.

2. In a medium mixing bowl. combine cranberry sauce. French dressing, and dry soup. Mix to blend well. Using about one third of mixture, place several spoonfuls evenly over rice mixture.

3. Arrange chicken breasts evenly on top. Spoon remaining cranberry mixture over and around chicken breasts, spreading evenly.

4. Cover with foil. Bake 1 1/4 hours. Remove foil, sprinkle vegetables all around chicken and carefully mix into rice. Bake 15 minutes longer or until vegetables are hot and cooked through.

Serves 5-6

If you do make it, I find it needs to cook much longer to get the rice properly cooked.
