Chicken And Mushroom Casserole Recipe

This chicken and mushroom casserole by Natashas Kitchen on YouTube is an easy recipe to make for a perfect chicken dinner meal. If you like mushrooms, then this recipe is so good and creamy. I love the thickness of gravy and it is mixed together with the chicken and mushroom. However, not a lot of people like mushrooms so you can substitute for other vegetables such as asparagus, frozen peas, or broccoli. Gravy is such a comforting sauce for the cool weather and it is filling.

Ingredients:

Ingredients for Chicken and Mushroom Casserole:

• 4 -5 large chicken breasts, trimmed and cut into 1 -inch thick strips
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 cup all-purpose flour to coat the chicken
• 6 Tbsp olive oil, divided
• 1 pound fresh mushrooms, thickly sliced
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced

Ingredients for the Chicken Sauce:

• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour for the sauce
• 1½ cups chicken broth
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 cup half and half (or ½ cup milk + ½ cup heavy cream)

Directions:

First, season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge both sides in flour. Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add chicken and saute until golden and transfer to a 13 x 9 casserole baking dish.

Next, add the oil along with sliced mushrooms, onions, and garlic and saute until soft and golden. Spread the mixture over the chicken. Continue to watch Natashas Kitchen tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Overall, I would make this creamy chicken bake because it is tender with its savory flavors. Also, this dish reheats well, and I would serve it with some pasta noodles too or rice. Plus, it’s perfect served over creamy mashed potatoes and a side salad for something fresh to balance out the savoriness.
