I found this recipe several years ago while looking for something unusual but simple I could prepare for company. I could prepare for company. It's a dish that I've served many times since then—with a salad and rolls, it makes a complete meal. My husband and I both grew up in the country. We're living in a suburb of a big city now, but we hope to move to a rural area. Meanwhile, two small children, home improvement projects, sewing and needlework keep me busy.

SERVINGS: 6

CATEGORY: Main Dish

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 1-1/4 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice, rinsed
  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons onion soup mix
  • 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed

Directions:

Spread rice in a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Add the broth and mushrooms; dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Place chicken breasts in the center of the dish; sprinkle with onion soup mix. Spoon mushroom soup over top.

    I'm guessing it should be 1/4 cup butter!

  • I think 14 cups of melted butter is a misprint. Hopefully! Can anyone correct this?
