Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 16 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1½ tablespoons flour
  • ½ cup Marsala wine or white wine
  • ½ cup fat-free half & half
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped cooked chicken about 1½ cups shredded cooked chicken
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.

Prepare the Sauce

  • In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and mushrooms, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic, salt, and pepper; cook for another minute. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, cooking for 1 minute.

Add Liquids

  • Slowly pour in Marsala wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in fat-free half & half and cook for 2 more minutes. Add chicken broth, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Casserole

  • Spread uncooked brown rice in the casserole dish. Top with chopped chicken. Pour the mushroom sauce over the chicken and rice. Sprinkle parsley on top.

Bake the Casserole

  • Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender. If needed, increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and continue baking until done.

Finishing Touches

  • Remove foil, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.

Serve

  • Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this creamy, comforting dish.

Notes

For a variation, try using white rice instead of brown, or substitute the chicken with turkey or shrimp.
