The French onion soup adds a rich underpinning to this easy chicken dish. You can also use chicken leg quarters. This basic recipe fits well in an oval 2 qt baking dish, but you can make more and put into a 13 by 9 cake pan. Just keep the liquid undiluted soup at a ratio of 2 parts soup to one part uncooked rice. I use Uncle Ben´s or Carolina parboiled rice. This was my favorite dish when I was growing up.
