Friccaise Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter

directions
- Set out last ingredient listed to soften a bit.
- Prepare the rice according to package directions except shorten the time to 15 minutes b/c it will finish in the oven. I don't use the seasoning pack or any butter when doing this -just whatever liquid is called for-I think the seasoning is too salty.
- Spoon rice into an ungreased 2-1/2-qt. baking dish using a slotted spoon. (I discard the starchy liquid.).
- Add chicken, onion, and mushrooms to rice, stir.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter (3 tablespoons) in skillet.
- Blend flour into butter until bubbly, gradually add wine, chicken broth, and milk, and stir until smooth and thickened.
- Remove skillet from burner.
- Add pepper, salt, tarragon, and tarragon to sauce.
- WHILE making sauce, steam broccoli or asparagus for 5 minutes (until barely tender), drain, arrange veggies atop the rice.
- Pour sauce over all.
- Topping: Combine cracker crumbs and butter, sprinkle on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes, add topping and bake another 10 to 15 minutes or until topping is crispy.
