CHICKEN, MUSHROOM AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE



Chicken, Mushroom and Wild Rice Casserole image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large shallots, finely diced
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, bottoms of stems trimmed, and quartered
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry sherry
One 8-ounce bag uncooked cultivated wild rice, washed and drained
6 large sprigs fresh thyme, tied into a bundle, plus more for garnish if desired
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
4 small to medium (6 1/2 to 7 1/2 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 small lemon, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional

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.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOM & WILD RICE CASSEROLE



Chicken, Mushroom & Wild Rice Casserole image

In Minnesota, chicken, mushrooms and wild rice are often bound together in a casserole with cream of mushroom soup. We forgo the sodium-rich canned soup and make a light, creamy sauce that gets depth of flavor from dry sherry and Parmesan cheese. If you already have cooked chicken, use 4 cups and skip Step 2.

Categories     Healthy Casserole Recipes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups water
½ cup wild rice
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 leeks, chopped and rinsed
1 ½ pounds mushrooms, sliced
1 cup dry sherry (see Note)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-fat milk
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
⅓ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 cups frozen French-cut green beans
½ cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Combine water and rice in a small heavy saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, place chicken in a large skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let cool.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until just starting to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until their liquid has been released and has evaporated, 12 to 14 minutes. Add sherry, increase heat to high and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle the vegetables with flour and stir to coat. Add milk; bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Stir in Parmesan, sour cream, parsley, salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch (or similar 3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Spread the rice in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Top with the chicken, then green beans. Pour the sauce over the top and spread evenly. Sprinkle with almonds.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbling and the almonds are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Delightful Chicken, Mushroom, and Wild Rice Casserole image

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!

Tips:

  • For a creamy, flavorful sauce: Use a combination of butter, flour, and milk. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Cook the chicken and mushrooms thoroughly: This will ensure that the dish is safe to eat. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, and cook the mushrooms until they are soft and browned.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrition to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the wild rice: Wild rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked wild rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Garnish before serving: This will make the dish more appealing. Some good options include fresh parsley, chives, or green onions.

Conclusion:

Chicken mushroom and wild rice casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a casserole that is both flavorful and satisfying.
