Cooking Our Way

This old recipe was lost.  I had a list of ingredients and will try to re-construct it.

2 c. shredded cooked chicken
1 pkg. Uncle Bens wild rice mix
1 sm. onion
1 sm. green pepper
sm. jar pimento
sm. can sliced water chestnuts
2 c. milk
3 T. flour
salt and pepper to taste
½ c. toasted almonds
3 T. butter or olive oil

Cook wild rice according to package directions.  Sauté onion and pepper in butter. Make a cream sauce by blending flour in pan with vegetables and slowly adding milk. Mix chicken, pimento, water chestnuts. vegetable mixture and rice together and place in a buttered casserole.  Bake covered about 30 minutes in slow oven.  Uncover and top with toasted almonds the last five minutes.
