CHICKEN MUSHROOM BAKE 
2 cups basmati rice (uncooked)
1 cup dry white wine
10-12 chicken pieces skin on (thighs, legs)
2 eggs
1 cup flour
5 shallots, halved
4 cloves garlic (cut into thirds)
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup milk
1 cup chicken stock
5 large white mushrooms cut into large pieces
2 cans Campbell's Cream Of Mushroom soup
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. marjoram
3-5 tbsp. olive oil

1. Preaheat oven to 350°F.

In a 9x13-inch glass casserole dish, combine rice and wine, set aside.

Combine flour, spices in a flat bowl. Whisk 2 eggs in another bowl. Soak 1-3 chicken pieces in egg then dredge with flour mixture. Set aside each chicken piece on a plate. Continue until all chicken pieces are lightly coated with the flour and egg.

In a large skillet set to med-high heat the oil. Carefully place the chicken (skin down) in the pan. Fry the skin side 2-3 minutes to achieve a light crispy coating. Do not cook the chicken! Simply fry to create a delicious coating.

Place fried chicken pieces in a casserole dish on top of rice (the rice should now be soaked with white wine. Yum!) Repeat with remaining chicken pieces. Lightly cook the shallots and garlic then mix in with chicken. Combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, and chicken stock in a bowl and pour over chicken.

Scatter mushrooms on top of the bake (the larger the slices the better). Cover with aluminum foil.

Cook covered for 90 minutes in a 350°F.

Remove foil and check rice consistency; cook uncovered 15 minutes or until rice is cooked. Cook uncovered longer than covered if you'd like the mushrooms crispy.

Thank you so much for sharing this! To make a slightly lighter version, I just braised the chicken (boneless skinless thighs) in a little olive oil, and used brown rice and 1/2 each white wine and chicken broth. I also made my own cream of mushroom soup using onion, celery, mushrooms, chicken broth, and a roux with butter, flour, and chicken broth. I did everything else just like you said, but cooked a little longer because of the brown rice and probably used a little extra liquid. Anyway, even though I didn't follow your recipe exactly it was perfect, and so pretty I could serve it to company. Thank you for the great idea!
