Chicken and mushroom rice casserole

This chicken and rice recipe is comfort food for the soul. It has a low-and-slow flavor but comes together with simple ingredients and pantry staples you probably already have stocked. It's also adaptable: Use chicken thighs or breasts along with an aromatic base such as the holy trinity (onions, bell peppers and celery) or a mirepoix (onions, carrots and celery) with fresh or dried herbs. Everything simmers together in one pot along with rice and earthy mushrooms. It's a perfect dish for a cool fall or cold winter day.
