BAKED RICE WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Put chicken pieces on a baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Pour olive oil into a 4-quart enamelware Dutch oven or similar heavy pot and set over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes, then season with salt. Add chicken, thyme sprig and bay leaf, and continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
• Add wine and simmer briskly until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Add rice and a large handful of mushrooms and stir to combine. (Reserve most of the mushrooms for garnish.) Add broth and bring to a simmer. Check broth for seasoning and adjust.
• Cover pot and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat. Transfer pot to oven and bake for 20 minutes. Finally, remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes off heat.
• While rice is baking, sauté remaining mushrooms: Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, rapidly stirring, until they have softened and browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add peas, if using, and heat through. Turn off heat, then add reserved chopped thyme, the garlic and the parsley. Toss to coat well.
• Fluff rice, then top with sautéed mushrooms and serve.

BAKED MUSHROOM CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl combine the soup, milk, parsley and onion powder. Mix well. Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish or bowl; dip chicken thighs in soup mixture, then in crumbs, and place coated pieces in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Drizzle with melted butter and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until chicken is nicely browned and cooked through (juices run clear).
• Meanwhile, place remaining soup mixture in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in cornstarch to thicken, and cook over low heat until heated through. Use this as a sauce when chicken is done.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOMS AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a casserole dish and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, about 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Push the onions and mushrooms to the side of the skillet, add the chicken skin-side down and and cook until the skin is browned, about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Stir the rice into the onion and mushroom mixture and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the wine, bring to simmer and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the soup and 1 1/2 cans of water and bring to a simmer.
• Pour the rice mixture into the buttered casserole dish. Place the chicken on top skin-side up and cover with a lid or foil. Bake, stirring in more water 1/2 cup at a time if the casserole starts to dry out, until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes.
