For the Casserole
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and flavor; margarine or olive oil can be substituted if needed.
  • 10 oz Sliced Mushrooms Provides earthy flavor and texture; fresh or canned mushrooms work.
  • 1.5 tablespoons Flour Helps thicken the sauce; gluten-free flour is a good alternative.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Marsala And Rice Casserole
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 10 ounces of sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender and golden.
  2. Sprinkle 1.5 tablespoons of flour over the sautéed mushrooms, stirring well. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate raw flour taste.
  3. Slowly whisk in 0.5 cup of Marsala wine and 0.5 cup of heavy cream, ensuring everything is combined. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of water or chicken broth, followed by 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1 cup of uncooked jasmine rice in the dish, layer with 2 cups of chopped rotisserie chicken, then pour the mushroom gravy over everything.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle 0.25 cup of shredded parmesan cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until bubbly.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this comforting dish with family and friends.
