    Zucchini, Chicken and Rice Casserole

    4 tbsp. vegetable oil
    2 cups onions-chopped
    1 garlic clove-minced
    3 cups zucchini-diced
    2 cups mushrooms-sliced
    3 cups chicken-cooked & diced
    1 cup uncooked brown or white rice
    2 1/2 cups chicken broth or water
    1 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
    1/2 tsp. rosemary
    1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
    salt and pepper
    2 cups chopped tomatoes
    1/4 tsp. chili powder

    Heat 3 tbsp. of the oil in a large saute pan, and saute 1 cup of the onions with the garlic for 2 minutes. Add the zucchini and mushrooms, and saute for 3 minutes more. Combine the vegetables with the chicken, rice, broth, and spices, and the cheese. Mix and season to taste with salt & pepper. Place this mixture in a greased 9x13 baking dish.
    Heat the remaining 1 tbsp. oil, and saute the remaining cup of onions for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chili powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the topping over the rice and chicken mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Serve hot.
    Casserole is quick to prepare and can be made up in advance and
    held until ready to cook in oven.
