3 Tbs finely chopped onion
2 Small garlic cloves
3 Tbs divided butter
3 Tbs all purpose flour

1 cup diced cooked chicken (I use my food processor to chop up)
2 1/2 cups cooked long grain rice
1 cup finely chopped celery
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

In saucepan over medium heat, saute mushrooms, onion, and garlic in 3tbs butter until tender. Stir in flour until thoroughly combined. Gradually add milk; bring to boil. Cook and stir for 2 min or until thickened and bubbly.

Remove from heat; stir in mayonnaise until smooth. Add chicken, rice celery, lemon juice, salt and pepper: mix well. Spoon into an ungreased 9X13 baking dish. Cover and bake for 30-35 min at 350.
