Need good Chicken & Rice recipe. Reputation at risk.?
The weather turned cool and I decided Chicken and Rice would make a nice comfort-food dinner. My wife came in and smirked "You've been watching Alton Brown again haven't you?".
The dinner... was a disaster. Cup of rice, 2 cans of Campbells Golden soup, water and onions, cooked at 350 for an hour. The rice was hard and un-cooked. We had to do 3 separate stir and microwave sessions to make it edible. And the taste ... was like canned soup poured over rice.
So I need to do it right. Give me your Mom's, your Grandmoms award winning recipe. I'm not afraid to cook, saute, chop, etc. Should I have used Cream of Mushroom soup? Should I saute fresh mushrooms, add nuts, cheese, etc.
I've searched RecipeZar and a few other sites and they all repeat the canned soup trick. I dont want the cheap and easy way - I want the high quality way.

Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole
INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
3 pounds bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
1 cup water
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 onion, sliced
1 cup chopped celery
2 (6 ounce) packages long grain and wild rice mix
1 (16 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 cup sour cream
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
DIRECTIONS
Place chicken breasts in a large pot with water, wine, salt, curry powder, onion, and celery. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from heat, strain (reserving broth), and refrigerate to cool. Remove chicken meat from bone, and cut into bite size pieces.
Prepare the rice mix according to package directions. Replace the specified amount of liquid with the same amount of the reserved broth.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl combine the chicken, rice, and mushrooms. Blend in the sour cream and soup. Spoon into the prepared baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour

Yes, use some cream of mushroom.You wouldn't believe the difference it makes. What I do:
For every 1 1/2 cups of rice use 1 can chicken stock, 1 can cream of mushroom. mix all of it together in a casserole dish. On top of all of this i place my chicken thighs seasoned with some garlic powder, kosher salt, and cumin. bake at 350 for an hour and 20 min. its a great easy comfort food that i make for my wife every few months

Boil the rice with chicken stock or bullion to add great depth of flavor. Get one of those rotisserie chickens from the grocery store if you're short on time, and shred up the meat into bite-sized pieces. Mix together the still-hot rice with some parmesan cheese, then add the chicken. Spread in a baking dish, top with cheese, then bake at 350 until melted, fragrant and delicious!

ok......
buy chicken breast, cut off any fat, buy risotto, & any flavor you'd like in it- one of my favorites is goat cheese & wild or portabello mushroom. buy your favorite vegetable (good ones are asparagus, or make a salad)
mix 1 part balsamic vinegar to 3 parts olive oil, shake it up, pour it over the chicken in a bowl, season with salt, pepper, & dried Italian herbs- let it marinate for @ an hr in the fridge
take it out, put the chicken breasts & liquid in the bowl in a saute' pan, cover & cook over med heat. for @ 15 min or so depending on thickness - check & turn it occasionally, cut it in the thickest part to make sure its done!
now make the risotto according to box directions- use CHICKEN BROTH not water to make the risotto- clean & cut your mushrooms or what ever veg you'll put in it & your cheese & mix those in when the risotto is almost all cooked.
clean & cook your side veg or make your salad & you're done! :)
mmmm
oh & btw, pair with a light wine like santa margarita pinot grigio
delicioso!
