    The ease of this dish makes it a perfect weeknight meal. Just start with the rice on the bottom of a prepared dutch oven or large pot with a lid. Add the seasonings, add the water, and mix well. Layer the mushrooms, carrots, and chicken. Put the lid on and it’s ready to bake for 1 hour! It is simple, delicious, and comforting! Don't let the ingredients list discourage you, it's mostly seasonings you may already have. If you don't, go ahead and add these seasonings to your shopping list. Buy them once and they'll last!
