Chicken and Wildling Rice Casserole

Note- I was binging game of thrones when I created this

• One rotisserie chicken, skinned and chopped up

• One (6 oz) box Uncle Ben Wild Rice with seasoning prepared as suggested (no butter or oil)

• 2 Tb unsalted butter

• 1 cup chopped onion

• 3/4 c diced celery

• 10 oz sliced mushrooms

• 1 can drained sliced water chestnuts

• 1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup With Roasted Garlic

• 2 Tb fresh minced basil

• 1/2 c sour cream

• 1/3 c reduced sodium chicken broth

• 3 oz shredded Swiss/gruyere blend

• Sliced almonds and more minced basil for garnish

• Grated Parmesan for garnish

Preheat oven to 350.

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion, celery and mushroom for several minutes or until tender.

Stir in rice, chopped chicken, basil, chestnuts, the soup, sour cream, chicken broth and taste for salt and pepper. I usually don't add salt but do add some black pepper at this point.

Transfer to greased 3 qt baker. Sprinkle with 3 oz shredded cheese. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and turn oven to broil. Broil until cheese is slightly golden - 3 minutes or so.

Top with almonds, basil and parmesan.
