1pkg. Uncle Bens Long Grain Wild Rice
1/3 c. chopped green pepper
sliced mushrooms ( I left out because no one here likes them and I didn't have any)
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 cups diced chicken
1 c chopped carrots
1 can cream chicken soup ( that is what the recipe says but i think cream of any kind of soup is gross so i made my own cream of soup concoction.)
