SPRING CHICKEN CASSEROLE

From a old recipe card I found during a clean up. Times are estimated. Based on Annacia's review I would suggest adding more flour or adding less stock.

Provided by ImPat

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (100 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 oz)
black pepper (ground to taste)
175 g baby onions (6 oz peeled)
175 g baby carrots (6 oz peeled)
1 garlic clove (minced)
250 g baby potatoes (9 oz)
115 g button mushrooms (4 oz)
2 tablespoons plain flour (all purpose)
450 ml chicken stock (3/4 pint)
3 medium tomatoes (chopped)
2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a high heat.
  • Season the chicken with pepper on both sides and then add them to the frying pan and quickly brown on both sides.
  • Remove chicken and drain on paper towel and then transfer to a large casserole dish.
  • Reduce the heat and add the baby onions, carrots, the garlic, the potatoes and the mushrooms and fry for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the vegetable from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper and then add to the casserole dish.
  • Sprinkle the flour into the pan and then blend in the stock, stirring until thickened and then add the tomatoes and half of the chopped parsley and stir well and then add to the casserole dish.
  • Cover the casserole dish with a lid and cook in the oven for 45 minutes.
  • Serve sprinkled with the remaining chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • Prep all ingredients beforehand: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Brown your chicken before baking it: Browning the chicken in a skillet before baking it will help lock in the juices and give it a delicious golden brown color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more colorful and flavorful your casserole will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, peas, and corn.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. To ensure your chicken is cooked through but still juicy, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Let the casserole rest before serving: Letting the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Spring chicken casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy sauce. With a few simple tips, you can make a spring chicken casserole that your whole family will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try.
