Pour remaining cup of soup over all. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, parsley and almonds on top. Bake covered at 350 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours. Check after one hour and stir rice.
• **Sometimes I like to make this with lower fat content. When I do I decrease the amount of rice by 1/2 C, eliminate 1 can of cream of chicken soup and add in the place 1 1/2 C chicken broth and leave out the butter and almonds. It is still very creamy and very tasty. I also use lowfat cream soups.
