Steps

  • 1
    In medium saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons margarine over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook until mixture is smooth and bubbly, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in chicken broth and 1 cup milk. Cook until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly.

    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish. In large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon margarine over medium-high heat. Add carrots, bell pepper and onions; cook and stir until crisp-tender. Stir in white sauce, 1/2 cup milk, sherry, chicken, bacon and mozzarella cheese; blend well. Remove from heat.
  • 3
    Combine white and wild rice; spread evenly over bottom of greased baking dish. Arrange artichokes over rice. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over artichokes.** Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes; cover tightly with foil.

    Bake at 350°F. for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until casserole is thoroughly heated.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    White sauce, the basis for a host of dishes, has a classic formula of 2 tablespoons or butter (or other fat) and 2 tablespoons of flour per cup of milk.
  • tip 2
    Prepare both the white rice and the wild rice ahead of time (or use leftovers from a previous meal) and store them in the refrigerator or the freezer until you're ready to complete the casserole.
