Marsala Casserole

In my house we are mad for shrooms, mushrooms that is! We tend to toss mushrooms in many dishes. So of course we love Marsala dishes. Mushrooms are Marsala are a match made in heaven. Some Marsala dishes tend to be a little time consuming. So when I am in the "dump and bake" kind of mood I always turn to this. You can use rotisserie chicken and have dinner on the table in no time. This is a family favorite in our home, try in tonight on your dinner table
From Silvana Nardone 

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 10 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 cup marsala wine or white wine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 packed cups coarsely chopped rotisserie chicken
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
       In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat until just melted.
       Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
       Sprinkle the flour on top and stir in for 1 minute.
       Stir in the marsala and cream and simmer, stirring occasionally,
       until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
       Stir in 2 cups water, the parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
    2. In a greased 9-inch-by-13-inch casserole, spread the rice in an even layer;
       top with the chicken.
       Pour the mushroom gravy on top.
       Cover snugly with foil and bake until bubbly, about 35 minutes.
       Discard the foil, sprinkle the parmesan on top and bake for 5 minutes more.
