Skillet Chicken Divan by Betty Crocker

Oh, Betty! Is there anything you haven't done? I came across a plethora of gluten-free recipes on BC's website. The first one I tried was the skillet Chicken Divan because I had all the ingredients on hand and needed to cook a quick dinner.

This recipe is easy but I have a few suggestions to make it even better and maybe easier.

1. Make sure you use Minute or quick cooking rice for this recipe as it suggests. I've made this recipe twice and both times I used the slow cooking rice because I never buy the quick cooking kind. I'm willing to buy the Minute kind because using the slow cooking kind is a bad idea. It takes too long for the rice to cook and the water isn't sufficient for absorption, even with the pan covered. This resulted with the rice on the bottom getting burnt a little. Whoops.
2. Use chicken stock instead of the water suggested. Without the stock/broth it just isn't as flavorful.
3. I used sharp cheddar cheese and it was fantastic. I think it went really well with the Dijon in the recipe.

You can find the recipe here.
