Chicken With Rice and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

I found this recipe in a Weight Watchers cookbook, and changed it slightly to accomodate my family's taste. It was surprisingly good. I wish I could have thought of a more creative name for the recipe to tempt others to try it. The original recipe was 6 pts. per serving.
