1tbp. Cooking oil
¼ cup Onion, finely chopped
½ cup Button Mushrooms, thinly sliced
¼ cup Green Peas, cooked

Set aside.
2. In a pan, sauté onions in hot oil and add button mushrooms and green peas. Add Chicken Broth Cube and water.
Stir until the cube is dissolved. Add the cooked rice and mix very well. Remove from heat.
3. When the rice has cooled slightly, careful stuff into the prepared chicken. Place the chicken in the glass or aluminum pan
Bake in a 350-degree oven for about an hour or until juice from the chicken run clear when pierced with a knife.
