1 (2pound)chicken,cut into pieces
salt and pepper to taste

Place chopped butter in bottom of 2 quart casserole.Pour rice over butter and add soup. Place chicken on top,and sprinkle with salt and pepper. I usually avoid the salt because the soup is so salty. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Serves 4
