Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and they have released their moisture.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sautéed mushrooms and garlic, heavy cream, dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese generously on top of the chicken mixture.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. For extra crispy topping, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.
Notes
Can use fresh chicken instead of cooked - simply cook diced chicken in the skillet first. For dairy-free option, substitute cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free cheese alternatives. Can freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. Recipe is naturally gluten-free. Add a splash of chicken broth if you want a slightly thinner sauce.
