Ingredients

2 c. chicken broth

2/3 c. sherry, divided

1 pkg. (6 ounces) long grain and wild rice mix (I like Uncle Ben's)

1 small onion, chopped

2 small carrots, grated

1 small green pepper, chopped

1/4 c. butter

3 c. diced, cooked chicken

1 can (4 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained

1 pkg. (8 ounces) cream cheese

2 c. (or 8 ounce pkg.) shredded American or Cheddar cheese

1 c. evaporated milk

1/3 c. parmesan cheese

1/2 c. sliced almonds

Carrots and green onions, for garnish, optional

Directions

In a medium saucepan, bring broth and 1/3 c. sherry to boil. Add contents of rice package, cover, and simmer over low heat 25 - 30 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a Dutch oven or large pot, saute onion, carrots, and green pepper in butter until soft, about 5 minutes. Add rice, chicken, and mushrooms, mixing well.

Place cream cheese, American (or Cheddar) cheese, and milk and melt over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Add to Dutch oven with remaining sherry, mixing thoroughly.

Pour into a buttered 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Top with parmesan cheese and almonds. Cover and bake 35 minutes; uncover and bake 15 minutes longer or until bubbly. If desired, garnish with carrots and green onions.

*Casserole may be refrigerated overnight before baking. If refrigerated, increase baking time to 45 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered.
