Masala Chicken and Mushroom Casserole

Masala Chicken and Mushroom Casserole

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

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 masala and cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in 2 cups water, the parsley, 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. 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.
