Serves 4 

Prep Time 3 minutes 

Cooking Time 20 minute

Ingredients:

1/4 cup sliced red onions

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 1/4 cups uncooked rice

1/8 cup white wine (optional)

2 chicken breasts, 

      cut into long strips, 

     about 1-inch thick

1 can mushroom soup, 

     plus an equal amount of water

1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese for topping

Instructions:

1  In a deep pan, sauté onions in olive oil until tender but not brown.

2  Add the rice and make sure all the grains are completely coated in oil. Let them "toast" for 1 minute.

3  Stir in the wine and let the grains absorb the liquid before adding the chicken and soup-water mixture. Simmer gently until rice is cooked through, around 10 minutes. 

4  Place in small, individual containers and top with cheese. Bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
