Dutch Oven Chicken & Rice

2 boxes chicken flavored Rice-a-Roni
3 1/2 cups water
12 chicken tenders (or 6 chicken breasts)
lemon pepper

Combine both boxes of rice-a-roni (including flavor packets) and water in a 12 inch dutch oven. Layer chicken on top and sprinkle with lemon pepper. Cover and cook using 10 coals on bottom and 14 coals on top, until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through... usually about 1 hour if chicken is frozen or partially frozen, about 45 minutes if chicken is thawed.

Variation: Add chunks of fresh brocolli and stir in with the rice and water before cooking.

Note: You can add more rice and/or chicken depending on how many people you are feeding. You can also adapt this for baking in a regular oven. Bake at 350 in a covered greased casserole dish. The times should be about the same.
