WILD RICE CHICKEN BAKE



Wild Rice Chicken Bake image

A recipe that I found in a community cookbook and tinkered with. Originally, I used to mix up a packet of Good Seasons Honey French dressing for this recipe, which they stopped selling. This was a tangy, somewhat sweet bright orange salad dressing. The closest match I have found is Catalina dressing or bottled french dressing with a touch of honey mixed into it. Also, the rice mix I use comes in a square clear plastic container, the same people that sell Texmati rice. It is a seasoned rice blend, but not overly salty. I have found the box mixes can often be far too salty in this recipe. The microwave wild rice packets you can now purchase (such as Uncle Ben's) would be just fine (about 2 of those pouches is probably enough)
