Chicken And Rice Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 whole chicken breasts (8 pieces)
1 c. dry sherry
1 c. water
1/2 c. celery, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 (6 oz.) box Uncle Ben's wild and long rice
1 lb. fresh mushrooms
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sour cream
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
slivered almonds

Preparation

Bring chicken and first 5 ingredients to a boil.
Cover and simmer 1 hour.
Cut chicken into bite size pieces.
Strain liquid and I use this instead of water to cook rice.
Saute mushrooms in butter and mix with soup and sour cream.
Add rice and chicken. Put in a 3-quart casserole or 2 (1 1/2-quart) casserole dishes. Sprinkle with slivered almonds and bake at 350\u00b0 for 1 hour.
