Chicken rice bake

Who can't boil water?! I prepared this for my wife in no time. So simple. Neither of us could stop going back for more. I did add sliced mushrooms. Easy to experiment with, but not too much as it's already perfected. We added left overs to empanadas the next day and impressed again. Don't forget the sour cream when serving. You WILL make this again.
