In honor of my life being on the verge of new born insanity, I bring you my lazy man favorite.

| Taste that? That is minimal effort. Tastes acceptable! |
Can you chop? Can you measure one cup? Do you consider stirring to be an acceptable amount of effort? If so, you may proceed. This is for you.
Resources:
~2 lbs frozen chicken breasts (still frozen)
1 packet Lipton (or equivalent) onion soup mix
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup uncooked rice
Pepper to taste
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Mix the Lipton, soup, rice, and pepper.
Place chicken in a 9"x13" baking dish. Pour soup mix over chicken (it will not completely cover it). Cover tightly with foil.
Bake for 60 minutes. Remove from oven. Remove and chop/shred chicken. Return the chicken, mix well, and cover again. Return to the oven for another 30 minutes.
Commentary:
Onion soup mix and cream of chicken mixed together is like crack man. I can eat that shit straight.

| Mmm. Brown crack. |
The chicken is always a little dry and the there is always a bit of burnt rice. That is just part of this recipe. Accept it and move on.
Cooking time is pretty approximate. If you particularly large breasts (as I do), it may take a little longer. The key is make sure it is thawed when you chop / shred (cooked through is not necessary).
Speaking of chopping / shredding, make sure to dump the accumulated liquid from your cutting board back in.
The only real downside to this recipe is it takes too long.
Aside:
As noted, the wifey and I are in the home stretch of this whole pregnancy thingy-ma-jig. No telling when I will return. Until then, keep cooking friends!
Conclusion:
Do not expect a five star review on this one. This is not a regular. It just for the days I am feeling lazy and have a hundred minutes to spare. Damn it is easy.
