I found this recipe several years ago while looking for something unusual but simple I could prepare for company. I could prepare for company. It's a dish that I've served many times since then-with a salad and rolls, it makes a complete meal. My husband and I both grew up in the country.

DELIGHTFUL CHICKEN, MUSHROOM, AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE
This casserole is heavenly! It has the most wonderful flavor! This one is best if you cook the chicken, rather than buy pre-cooked chicken or use leftovers, because you cook the rice in the broth, which is the secret to the delicious flavor. I got this recipe off of another site and everyone that I have served it to just loves it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 13x9" baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together both cans of soup, water, and black pepper until smooth. Stir in both boxes of rice* (see Note below first). Pour mixture into the prepared baking pan. Arrange chicken pieces on top then lightly sprinkle just the chicken pieces with paprika. Cover and seal pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake undisturbed for 2 1/2 hours. (Don't open the oven door or remove the foil during baking time). If desired, after it has finished cooking, remove foil and oven broil for 1-2 minutes just to add a little color to the top of the chicken. NOTE: *Zatarain's wild rice mix is a well seasoned product with the seasonings mixed in with the rice. (Some products may have a separate seasoning packet.) I was a bit concerned about the dish being over-seasoned with the cans of soup, so when I poured the rice into the bowl on top of the soup mixture, I removed 2 or 3 "clumps" of the seasoning before stirring it into the soup mixture. Worked out very well.

FAVORITE CHICKEN AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE
I found this in Southern Living several years ago and make it often, especially when bringing a meal to someone. It freezes well which is good since the recipe is much more than my family can eat. I usually make it either in 2 2qt baking dishes or 3 9x9 pans for freezing and add a little extra cheese on top. Light sour cream, lowfat milk and Healthy Request soup work well for a lower fat version.
