This is a secret recipe from my old neighborhood in Tennessee. It was always served at a friend's ornament exchange. Can't remember how exactly I got my hands on it (likely passed in a note under the table before I moved away). In any case, it's a sweet and savory take on chicken and rice casserole.
Chicken Diablo
6-7 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
2 boxes Uncle Ben's Wild Rice
1 large jar mushrooms, drained
2 8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp Grey Poupon mustard
2 Tbsp parsley flakes
Topping
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar (original recipe called for 1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Cook rice according to package directions. Add both rice packages to a 9x13 pan (or a little bigger). Mix softened cream cheese, mushrooms, mustard, and parsley. Stir in diced chicken. Spread over rice. Sprinkle topping mixture over cream cheese mixture. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, uncovered
