1 cup wild rice
4 cups water
No stick cooking spray

Instructions:

Cook rice, and then spoon 3 cups of cooked rice into an 8 x 12 inch glass baking dish (first sprayed with no-stick cooking spray).

Combine soup, yogurt, mushrooms and sherry; pour half of this mixture over the rice.

Arrange the chicken over the soup mixture (which is on top of the rice), then pour the 2nd half of the soup mixture on top of the chicken; sprinkle Parmesian cheese over the top of the whole thing.

Bake (covered with foil) at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes (until chicken is no longer pink).
