This Baked Chicken & Rice recipe is not only easy and perfect for a quick weeknight meal, it is also incredibly affordable and hard to mess up which are both major wins for this busy mom!
The best part is using the boxed Rice-a-Roni to keep it simple and kid-free. You could also easily make it with some vegetables on the side or hide them in there.
