Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup wild rice blend
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)

  3. In the same skillet, sauté diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Add sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine sautéed vegetables, cooked wild rice blend, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix well.
  5. Place seared chicken in the prepared baking dish and top with the rice mixture.
