CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Champagne Chicken Casserole image

I wanted to create a meal in one & had made champaigne chicken years ago, & it is one of our favorites. So by adding lots of veggies to this recipe and some extra champagne and heavy whipping cream to create more sauce for the dish, I was able to combine everything together in one big pot, except for the chicken, I wouldn't dare...

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 large spanish onion chopped
3-4 clove garlic, minced
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded & chopped
8 oz sliced mushrooms, canned or fresh
1/2-2/3 c all purpose flour

1 c freshly grated parmesan/reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Mix flour with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large recloseable bag. Heat 2 Tablespoons each of oil and butter in a large skillet,(I like to use cast iron) Add chicken breast to bag 1 to 2 pieces at a time, and shake to coat on all sides.
  • 2. Add chicken pieces to skillet when oil is hot,& brown on each side about 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and add remaining chicken, and additional oil and butter if needed, and brown on both sides, then remove from skillet to a large platter. Then add chopped veggies, and saute till transparent, then remove from skillet to another dish. Add chicken breast back into skillet. TURN FIRE OFF, AND ADD WINE,[to prevent starting a fire from the fumes of the wine] THEN TURN HEAT BACK ON.
  • 3. Cook chicken about 15 minutes or so, or until chicken is done.REMOVE CHICKEN PIECES. Then add the whipping cream and the sauteed veggies, & whisk with wire whisk till mixture starts to become thickened. When thickened, add mixture to cooked pasta, stir to mix, add freshly shredded parmesan cheese, and stir till cheese melts.
  • 4. Add pasta to a large platter, and arrange chicken pieces to platter and serve while still hot. Garnish with additional peppers or chopped parsley if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality champagne for the best flavor. Look for a brut or extra brut champagne, which is dry and will not overpower the other ingredients in the dish.
  • If you don't have champagne, you can substitute another dry white wine. However, the flavor of the dish will not be as rich.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in this dish. Some good options include broccoli, asparagus, and mushrooms.
  • If you are using frozen chicken, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking. This will help the chicken cook evenly.
  • Serve the champagne chicken casserole immediately after it is cooked. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so it is best to serve it while it is still hot.

Conclusion:

Champagne chicken casserole is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it as a main course or a side dish, this casserole is sure to impress your guests.
