Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Unsalted butter, for the casserole dish
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 cups sliced mushrooms
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs (or a combination)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups rice
1 cup white wine
One 10.5-ounce can cream of mushroom soup

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.
