Bring chicken broth to a boil. Add rice and reduce heat. Simmer covered for 40 to 45 minutes or until rice is cooked.

Heat oven to 350°F.

Mix soy sauce and cornstarch together until smooth. Add chicken and marinate for 15 minutes. Drain.

Melt butter in a skillet and add chicken, mushrooms, and onion. Cook until chicken is browned on all sides and mushrooms and onion start to brown.

Add wine to chicken and stir up all the browned bits. Cook until reduced by half.

In a saucepan heat butter and stir in flour until smooth. Cook for a couple minutes to get the raw flour taste out.

Slowly add milk and bring to a boil stirring constantly until thickened.

In a casserole dish mix the rice and chicken together. Add the sauce and stir to coat.

Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
