Baked Chicken with Mushroom Rice


Did I ever mention how much I love mushrooms?

4 servings of chicken (for us, that's 2 breasts - we share a breast and that is plenty of meat)
salt and pepper
2 onions, diced
2 carrots, thinly diced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/3 C rice
1 C chicken broth
1/2-3/4 C water
3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
Fresh grated pecorino Romano cheese

Salt and pepper chicken.  Brown chicken in a little olive oil on all sides (about 3 minutes per side).  Remove chicken from pan.  Add onions and carrot to pan; saute 4 minutes.  Add mushrooms to pan; saute 5 minutes.  Add garlic; saute 1 minute.  Add rice; saute 1 minute.  Spoon rice mixture into a 9x13 baking dish.  Stir in the water, broth, and cream.  Place chicken over rice.  Sprinkle chicken with cheese.  Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
