INSTRUCTIONS
The Chicken and Broth: In a large pot, combine chicken, wine, salt, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, and water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken and cut into bite-size pieces. Set aside. Boil chicken broth gently, uncovered, until it is reduced to about 3 1/2 cups. Set aside and make rice. The Rice: In a large saucepan, melt margarine. Add the garlic, onion, and mushrooms and cook until tender. Stir in rice. Add 1 1/2 cups of the reduced chicken broth. Simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed (about 20 minutes.) While rice is cooking, make the cream sauce. The Cream Sauce: Melt margarine over low heat. Stir in the flour and cook until bubbly. Remove from heat and slowly stir in remaining 2 cups of broth. Gradually add skim milk. Return to low heat and stir until thick. Back to the Rice and Chicken: When the rice is cooked, stir in the artichoke hearts and 1 cup of the cream sauce. Set aside. Stir remaining cream sauce into chicken pieces. Set aside. Putting it All Together: Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9"x13" baking pan with margarine. Melt the 3 tablespoons margarine Unfold the phyllo leaves. Cover with plastic or damp towel. Place 1 plyllo sheet into bottom of pan. Brush lightly with melted margarine.
