3. Meanwhile, cook rice as directed.

4. Add cream cheese to skillet and cover again for 5 minutes. (This helps it to melt)

6. Serve chicken, vegetables and sauce over top of rice.

7. Enjoy! :-)

This recipe takes a little longer to make (40 minutes) than some of my other recipes but during the 20 minutes that it is covered and cooking I go ahead and make lunches or just relax and watch t.v. It isn't a very difficult recipe but tastes and looks like something gourmet. Plus the best part....under $10.00. Happy cooking everyone!
