This is now my favorite chicken and rice! I used Uncle Ben's mix because the stockers at the store had everything else blocked. I wish I had used Zatarains....a bit spicier. This was perfect for me using up the rest of my leftover turkey/chicken from Thanksgiving....I had both because I cooked a chicken prior to have the drippings and stock necessary for the gravy beforehand!! I used sliced mini portobello mushrooms instead of canned, but otherwise followed the directions. Great comfort food. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

This was SOOO good!! And so simple!! Used Zatarans long grain and wild rice mix (with seasoning). Omitted the white wine because I didn't have any. I will say though that mine was done in 45 minutes total -- any more and it would have been dry. Will definately be making again!!

Must admit that I made a few changes in this recipe starting with leaving out the mushrooms! Instead I added a bit more celery & a cup & a half of thawed frozen peas, & switched the cream of . . . soup to celery rather than mushroom! All in a good cause, for us anyway, since I really prefer my mushrooms raw, or at the least just SLIGHTLY cooked! Made for a great tasting casserole, though, & we were completely satisfied!

This quick to put together dish is really delicious. I used a brown and wild rice mix and fresh crimini mushrooms. It came out well cooked and with a lovely chewy-ness to the rice that was so good. Great flavors in this comfort recipe. Pure pleasure. :D

This was very nice kind of like a risotto without all the work. I used fresh mushrooms and campbell's low fat low salt condensed soup, and basmati rice, seasoned with season all. I am so busy at the moment with family things and this was a great quick fix, I think I will be making this quite regular, it is so easy to prepare, then in the oven while you get on with everything else just fantastic. I served it with green beans and the two went very well together. Thank you for posting make for healthy choices ABC tag game 2011
