CHICKEN-RICE CASSEROLE 
3 c. milk
4 tbsp. cornstarch
1 c. chicken broth
1 tsp. minced onion
1 1/2 - 2 tbsp. Gourmet Award chicken flavored soup base
1 c. rice
1/2 c. wild rice
2 c. cooked chicken, cut into pieces
1-2 c. peas or cooked broccoli (optional)

Cook chicken in 1 1/2 cups water until done. Cool enough to cut into cubes. Save 1 cup juice for sauce. Cook rice until done, drain.

Mix milk, cornstarch, chicken broth, onion and soup base. Cook in microwave at 2 minute intervals, stirring after each time until thick. May be cooked on top of stove but needs to be watched and stirred so it doesn't scorch.

Mix thickened sauce, rice, chicken and vegetables together and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Grated cheese may be sprinkled on top before baking.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
