Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced, button or cremini
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • 9x13-inch casserole dish
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic to skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring to avoid burning.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, sautéed mushrooms and garlic, heavy cream, dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. Transfer mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish, spreading evenly across the bottom.
  6. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese generously on top of chicken mixture.
  7. Place casserole in preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for a few moments. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a crustier top, broil for an extra 2-3 minutes after baking. Use rotisserie chicken or shredded turkey as alternatives. For vegetarian option, use chickpeas or tofu instead of chicken. Mushrooms are loaded with antioxidants and vitamins D and B.
