Notes
If you don't have a lid for the pot/pan you used, you can cover it with a lid that is slightly larger, aluminum foil, or even a baking tray [br][br]I topped this with slices of lemon which I pan briefly sauteed while the rice and chicken were in the oven[br][br]You can substitute Uncle Ben's Long Grain Wild Rice if you don't see the Basmati version at your store
