- 1/4 pound button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, divided
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup brown rice flour
- 1 1/2 cup low-sodium gluten-free chicken broth

- 1/4 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, 1 teaspoon of the thyme, carrots, celery, onions, salt and pepper and cook until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add broth and milk, stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until very thick, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine rice, cheese, paprika, remaining 1 teaspoon thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Stir peas into chicken mixture then season with salt and pepper and transfer to prepared dish. Scatter rice mixture evenly over the top then arrange dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake until bubbly and crust is crisp, about 30 minutes.
