Tips: For chicken atop dressing, substitute 8-oz pkg. herb-seasoned stuffing mix for rice. Omit first 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake covered with foil at 375 for 1 hour; remove foil and bake 30 minutes longer. This makes a moist dressing. If you prefer a drier dressing, decrease water to 1 1/2 cups.

Wild rice can be substituted for half of rice.

For pork chops atop rice, in large skillet, brown 6 pork chops. Arrange pork chops on rice mixture, omit butter.
