Here is one I make quite often. I found it a long time ago on a Web site with diabetes-friendly recipes. I cannot remember the name of the site though! Also, I get a lot of recipes from MyRecipes.com. There is a tab at the top called "Healthy Diet." Eating Well magazine's site is also really good. (www.eatingwell.com)

Chicken and Rice Medley (serves 8)

Chicken breast and long-grain rice baked in a savory cream of mushroom sauce.

1 cooking spray, for baking
1 cup long grain white rice
20 oz. boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped
1 cup water
5 1/2 oz. soup, cream of mushroom, condensed, canned (1/2 can)
1 1/4 oz. onion soup mix

Directions
1. Begin by coating a 12x8x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray and lining the uncooked rice in a layer on the bottom. Next, layer the chicken on top of the rice.
2. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the water, cream of mushroom soup, and onion soup mix, pour it over the chicken.
3. Cover the casserole and then bake for 90 minutes, or until the chicken and rice are fully cooked.
