Ingredients

  • 3 pounds bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 1 cup chopped celery

  • 1 cup water, or more as needed

  • 1 cup dry white wine

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon curry powder

  • 2 (6 ounce) packages long grain and wild rice mix

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 (16 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Place chicken breasts in a large pot. Add onion, celery, water, wine, salt, and curry powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from heat and strain, reserving broth. Allow chicken to cool enough to handle. Remove meat from bones and cut into bite-sized pieces; set aside.

  2. Combine reserved broth with water as needed to measure 4 1/4 cups. Pour into a medium saucepan and add butter; stir well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  4. Combine cooked chicken, cooked rice, and mushrooms in a large bowl. Stir in condensed soup and sour cream. Spoon into the prepared baking dish.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 1 hour.

Tips

If the casserole is made ahead of time and refrigerated, let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
