Chicken Wild Rice Casserole - The Perfect Meal on Wheels!

"Of course, I'd love to bring a meal." This statement comes out of a southern woman's mouth as quickly as "Bless your heart!" We bring meals for every occasion... birth of a child, sickness, funerals, moving into a new home, beginning a new job... the list is limitless. Even if you don't like to cook, develop one or two recipes as your "meal on wheels" when an occasion arises. I have found that Chicken Wild Rice Casserole is my favorite "to go" recipe. I usually keep the ingredients on hand so that my prep time does not include a trip to the grocery store. This recipe also lends itself to doubling the ingredients... You might as well feed your family also! If you really want to be prepared, make two casseroles and freeze them.

"Bonus meals" in your freezer will bless your family and impress your friends.

Chicken Wild Rice Casserole

6 - 8 Chicken Breasts

1 c. Water

1 c. White Cooking Wine

1/2 c. Margarine

1 (8oz.) package sliced Mushrooms

1/2 c. Celery, chopped

1/2 t. Salt

1/2 t. Curry

1 (8 oz.) Sour Cream

1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

2 boxes of Uncle Ben's Wild Rice

Shredded cheddar cheese

Boil chicken in water, white wine, salt and curry. Cook rice according to package directions except use half each stock and water. Chop chicken. Cook celery and mushrooms in margarine. Mix all ingredients. Top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 - 50 minutes.

Tip: As you mix the casserole, make sure that it has a moist consistency. Extra water may be added to achieve the desired result. Casserole freezes well.

Speed Tip: If time does not permit cooking the chicken, omit the first step. Buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and chop. When cooking the rice, use one can of chicken broth as a portion of the water to give added flavor to the casserole.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as you minister to others!
