DEATH CHICKEN
Thanks to Chef Queen of Cups for posting a lower-fat version of this recipe. Here is the original...low-fat it is not (!), but to me, it is the ultimate comfort food. It gets its name from the strong Southern tradition of bringing a covered dish to families in mourning (with a double meaning resulting from the saturated fat content!) --this was the favorite of all the comfort foods brought on one such occasion. It's from the book "God Save the Sweet Potato Queens" by Jill Conner Browne.

Steps:
- Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with the bacon.
- Pour the uncooked rice over the bacon, then lay the chicken breasts on top of the rice.
- Whisk together the remaining ingredients-- using a pinch of nutmeg and a few shakes of garlic salt/powder-- but*don't* eliminate the nutmeg, because I promise, it's what makes the dish!
- Pour the whisked mixture over the rice, then cover the dish with heavy duty foil (the author states emphatically that it's really important to use*heavy duty* foil, so if I don't have any, I use two layers of regular foil to be safe).
- Bake at 300 degrees F for 2 hours.
