Hm, did you cover the dish well to prevent evaporation?

Did you get the impression if you had left it in the oven another 10 - 15 minutes the rice would have cooked? Or would it have been too dry... in which case you might want to add a little more water next time.

Don't feel bad, Andrea. I've had recipes like that turn out with hard rice, too. Too bad because it sounds like it would be really good.

So what does Mr. Smarty Pants Chris V have planned for tonight? (Turkey sandwiches at Mr. Pickles doesn't count)

Actually it's funny you say that... because we are having turkey sandwiches from Mr Pickles tonight... baseball practice for my son and a club meeting for me, so it's got to be quick and easy.

I am actually a pretty good cook though, when I have time to do it.

Old Europe buffet. I'm still mad MSgt didn't say hi.

I did not cover it... and yes we did leave it another 15 min...

I went back and read the FULL reviews of other people and ALL of them said you have to PRE-cook the rice!!! The little review where it says

WOW this was great! My family loved this and I want to make it agai........ click here to read more.

I never clicked any of the read more... but ALL of them said the rice needs to be precooked or it comes out hard! damn... cos it was sooooooooo good!

The recipe says to cover the dish before you bake it (Top with chicken and sprinkle with paprika. Cover.) . Essentially too much of the liquid that was in the recipe evaporated instead of going into the rice.

Yes, for a recipe like that I'd probably pre-cook the rice to be on the safe side. I've had the same problem with recipes that say you're supposed to be able to use dry lasagna noodles; they never cook in the casserole, so I always cook them first.
