Chicken Bread Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 slices white bread, crusts removed
    2 cups boneless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
    4 tablespoons butter
    1/4 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
    1/4 cup mayonnaise
    1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
    1 cup milk
    1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of celery soup
    2 eggs, beaten
    2 tablespoons pimiento, chopped (or roasted red peppers)
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350. Line the bottom of a buttered 13x9 baking pan with the bread. Cut the bread slices to fit. Spread the chicken out evenly over top of the bread.
    In a small frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute until slightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat, add mayonnaise. Mix well and spoon evenly over chicken.
    Sprinkle cheese evenly over mushroom mixture.
    In a large bowl, combine milk, soup, eggs, pimiento, salt and pepper. Mix well and pour evenly over top.
    Bake 1 hour until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
    Sprinkle breadcrumbs over top and dot with slivers of the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
    Bake for about 10 minutes more or until the breadcrumbs are lightly browned.
