Ingredients:

Serving

4 tbsp butter, divided
1 medium onion, halved vertically and thinly sliced crosswise (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb shiitake or other mushrooms , stems discarded and caps sliced
2 (12-oz) bunches spinach , tough stems removed and coarsely chopped or 2 (5-oz) packages prewashed , coarsely chopped
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
8 oz gruyere, shredded (2 cups)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
4 cups hot cooked brown or wild rice
3 cups cooked chicken breast meat, shredded (12 oz)

Directions:

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring often, until softened. Stir in garlic, and cook 1 minute. Add mushrooms, and cook 8 minutes or until softened. Add half of spinach, and cook, stirring constantly, until spinach begins to wilt.

Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk, and cook, whisking constantly, about 5 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Remove from heat, and slowly whisk in Gruyère, whisking until smooth. Whisk in salt and pepper. Add spinach mixture, rice, and chicken; transfer to a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch (4-quart) casserole dish.
