Chicken and Rice Skillet

This was a tasty dish that didn't require a lot of effort to make so I especially like that on a busy week night! We all really liked it but the rice was a little crunchy... I actually picked up the wrong kind and there wasn't enough for it to cook up to tender. So, make sure you grab the long grain and not the wild rice with long grain! :)
