CHICKEN, MUSHROOMS AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a casserole dish and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, about 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Push the onions and mushrooms to the side of the skillet, add the chicken skin-side down and and cook until the skin is browned, about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Stir the rice into the onion and mushroom mixture and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the wine, bring to simmer and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the soup and 1 1/2 cans of water and bring to a simmer.
• Pour the rice mixture into the buttered casserole dish. Place the chicken on top skin-side up and cover with a lid or foil. Bake, stirring in more water 1/2 cup at a time if the casserole starts to dry out, until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the broth in a medium saucepan until simmering.
• Melt the butter in an oven-safe braiser (or large cast-iron skillet with a lid or 4-quart saute pan with a lid) over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and mushrooms, tossing to coat in the butter, and cook, stirring once or twice, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sherry, allowing the pan to deglaze. Add the rice and allow it to toast and soak in the flavors of the pan. Add about 4 cups of the hot broth to the pan. Add the thyme and bay leaf. Cover the braiser and place it in the oven to bake until the rice is almost cooked, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the coriander, salt and pepper. Brush the chicken with the olive oil, then dust all over with the seasoning. Set aside.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and check on doneness. It should still have some chew with some grains just starting to pop open. Stir in the cranberries. Add the remaining hot broth to keep the dish brothy. Add the chicken breasts to the braiser, laying them at an angle so that most of the chicken is submerged in the rice. Shingle the lemon slices in between the chicken breasts. Cover and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until the chicken registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about another 10 minutes. Top with the parsley or thyme before serving.

CREAMY WILD MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Make the bread crumbs -- In a small food processor, take a couple slices of bread and process till you get fine crumbs. Measure out 1 1/2 cups. Then you can either buy ground or chopped fine pecans or you can grind your own. I like to buy the small 1/2 cup packages when I only need a small amount. In a large saute pan, add the the butter and melt on medium high, add the bread crumbs and nuts and cook until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes is all it takes. Remove and let cool.
• Rice -- Make the rice according to directions. Any time I cook with rice, couscous, etc., I try to use chicken or vegetable broth rather than water to cook the grains. It just adds so much flavor with little work, but that is optional. Cook the rice and add to a 13x9 greased (or sprayed with pam) casserole dish.
• Vegetables -- In that same pan we made the bread crumbs in (no need to use another pan), heat the olive oil and butter on medium heat and add the fennel, onions and mushrooms and cook on medium until they have become translucent and the mushrooms tender, about 7-10 minutes. then add the thyme, parsley salt and pepper and mix well. Add this to the rice in the casserole dish and lightly mix.
• Sauce -- Once again in that same pan, add the butter and melt on medium, then add the flour and mix to make a roux. Let it cook just a minute. Now add the milk and stir well. Add in the sherry and then the seasoning. Bring to a medium boil just until it slightly thickens and then add in the shredded cheese and stir. Cook until nice a creamy and thick. Should resemble a nice cheese sauce. Pour this mixture over the rice and vegetables. Lightly toss to combine.
• Topping -- Top with those bread crumbs and bake at 350 for 20 minutes until bubbly and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
