Ingredients
  

  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 4 ounces mushrooms sliced (approximately 1 cup)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅓ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ cup regular uncooked long-grain white rice

Equipment

  • skillet

Directions
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F. In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Cook the onion for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
  2. Turn the heat up and add the rest of the oil, the mushrooms, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the mushrooms brown and their liquid cooks off.
  3. Pour in the broth and bring it to a simmer. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the cream, sour cream, the rest of the salt, and the rosemary.
  4. Spread the uncooked rice in a 4×6-inch or 5-inch square baking dish. Pour the mushroom mixture over it and stir. Set the dish on a baking sheet.
  5. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes. If it still looks watery, uncover and bake a few minutes more. Let it rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a meatless version, use vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth.
