Delightful Chicken, Mushroom, and Wild Rice Casserole image

This casserole is heavenly! It has the most wonderful flavor! This one is best if you cook the chicken, rather than buy pre-cooked chicken or use leftovers, because you cook the rice in the broth, which is the secret to the delicious flavor. I got this recipe off of another site and everyone that I have served it to just loves it!

DELIGHTFUL CHICKEN

Categories     Cheese     Chicken     Poultry     Tomato     Vegetable     Bake     Parade

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 whole skinless and boneless chicken breasts (about 4 1/2 to 5 pounds)
3/4 cup defatted chicken broth
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 hothouse (seedless) cucumber
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 heads Boston lettuce, cleaned, tough outer leaves removed
1 pint ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup imported black olives
1/4 pound Roquefort cheese, cut into chunks
1/2 cup whole flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • 2. Place the chicken in a shallow baking pan to fit. Pour the broth on top, season with salt and pepper and bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through, basting once or twice. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Cut chicken into thirds, diagonally; set aside.
  • 3. Using a vegetable peeler, cut 4 strips vertically along the cucumber. Halve the cucumber lengthwise and then cut into 1/4-inch slices; reserve.
  • 4. For the dressing, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Tear the lettuce leaves into medium-sized pieces and place atop the dressing. Add the tomatoes, olives, reserved cucumber and chicken. Gently fold together from underneath, coating with dressing.
  • 5. Add the cheese and parsley; toss carefully.
  • 6. Adjust seasonings and serve in a very large, shallow bowl or on a large, decorative platter.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken: Opt for organic, free-range chicken for the best flavor and texture.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
  • Cook the chicken to the proper internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for whole chicken and 175°F (80°C) for ground chicken.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving helps the juices redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
