Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a large skillet and pour in some vegetable oil, heating it over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is shimmering, add your chicken strips.
Step 4
Sear them for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they’re beautifully browned.
Step 5
Once they’re cooked to perfection, gently transfer the chicken to a casserole baking dish, setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 6
In the same skillet, toss in a delightful mix of cremini, oyster, and shiitake mushrooms along with some chopped garlic.
Step 7
Sauté these earthy treasures for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their wonderful flavors.
Step 8
Next, sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir everything together until it’s well combined.
Step 9
Gradually pour in some white wine, stirring continuously to create a rich, flavorful base.
Step 10
Now, it’s time to elevate your sauce! Add chicken stock, ground sage, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Step 11
Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to a luscious consistency.
Step 12
Once it’s ready, remove it from the heat and stir in some heavy cream for that extra touch of creaminess.
Step 13
Pour this delectable mushroom sauce over the chicken in your casserole dish, giving it a gentle stir to ensure everything is well coated.
Step 14
Cover the dish with aluminum foil, sealing in all those wonderful flavors.
Step 15
Place it in your preheated oven and let it bake for around 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and inviting.
Step 16
When it’s time to serve, don’t forget to sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.
Step 17
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s sure to warm your heart and delight your taste buds!.
