    Melt butter in a Dutch oven with oil over high heat; swirl pan to blend. Add chopped mushrooms. Cook and stir over high heat about two minutes. Add onion and chicken-breast pieces. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook until chicken is just cooked through, stirring in garlic the last minute or so.

    Add undiluted mushroom soup and the cheese spread (or if using Velveeta brand, dice it). Stir until cheese is melted. Remove pan from heat. Stir in the cooked rice, thawed broccoli, water chestnuts, sour cream and pepper. Spoon mixture into a two-quart baking dish that has been sprayed with a nonstick product.

    Bake at 400 degrees, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Top withcheddar cheese and bread crumbs (a bit of grated Parmesan mixed in with the crumbs is optional). Return to the oven until the cheese melts.

    Yield: 8 servings
