Chicken with Wine and Almonds
By Yankee Magazine|May 23 2002|
The chicken cooks on a bed of rice with a creamy sauce flavored with wine, almonds, and cheese. This is a very easy to prepare one-dish meal that will feed a small crowd.
Yield
10 to 12 servings
Ingredients
1-1/4 cups uncooked white rice
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup
1 can (14 ounces) chicken broth
1/2 cup dry sherry or white wine
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
6 to 8 whole chicken breasts, skinned, boned, and split
3 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
3 ounces slivered almonds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the rice in the bottom of a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish. Mix together the soups, broth, sherry, and melted butter. Pour 1 cup of this liquid into the rice and stir to evenly moisten the rice. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer over the rice. Pour the remaining liquid on top. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and almonds on top. Cover and bake for about 1 hour, until the chicken is done and the rice is tender.
