This is a dish that I grew up with.  I have changed it slightly from my mom's recipe but overall it is the same.

You can make your own changes if you like.  You can change the condensed soup to mushroom or celery.  You can even add chopped celery and/or garlic.  I use thighs and drumsticks because of the flavor that these pieces of chicken give to the pot that breasts do not.

You can also change the type of rice.  However, if you change the rice please make sure you adjust your cooking time accordingly.

Enjoy!!
