Recipe - Herbed Chicken Bake

1 pack (6oz.) longgrain and wild
rice mix
3 lg Chicken breasts; boned and
halved lengthwise
One fourth cup BUTTER
1 cn (10 1/2oz.) condensed cream
of chicken soup
Three fourths cup Sauterne wine
One half cup Sliced celery
1 cn (3oz.) cut or sliced up mushrooms;
drained *note
2 tablespoon Chopped pimiento

(NOTE: I prefer using fresh mushrooms, which I slice and saute in just a
little butter. They *must* be cooked first, or all their water will come
out and thin the sauce during baking.)

This is a delicious chicken and rice recipe, which can be assembled ahead.
It's from the BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS COOKBOOK, and I've served it many
times, with requests for the recipe always being asked.

Prepare rice mix using package directions. Season chicken with salt and
pepper; in skillet, brown slowly in butter. Spoon rice into 1 1/2qt.
casserole; top with chicken, skin* side up (*you can most definitely use
skinless chicken breasts). Add soup to the skillet; slowly add sauterne,
stirring until smooth. Add remaining ingredients; bring to boil, then pour
over the chicken. Cover and bake at 305 degrees for 25 minutes. Uncover and
bake for another 1520 minutes or until tender.
