Chicken Casserole with Mushrooms (Chicken Gloria)

  • Total time: 1 Hour 30 Minutes
  • Servings: 6 Servings

Ingredients

Casserole:

  • 2 1/2 lbs Chicken Breasts (4 to 5 large), cut into 1 -inch thick strips
  • 1 1/2 tsp Sea Salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour, to coat the chicken
  • 6 Tbsp Olive Oil, divided
  • 1 lb White Mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 1 Medium Onion, finely diced
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, minced

Sauce:

  • 3 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 3 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour, for the sauce
  • 1 1/2 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 Cup Half and Half (or 1/2 Cup Milk + 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream)

Directions

  • 1)

    Season chicken with salt and pepper and dredge both sides in flour. Heat 3 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat. Once oil is hot, add chicken and saute until golden. Work in batches if needed so you don’t crowd your pan. Don’t worry about cooking the chicken through; it still needs to go in the oven. Transfer chicken to a 13×9 casserole baking dish.

  • 2)

    Scrape of any debris from the skillet. Add 3 Tbsp oil along with sliced mushrooms and diced onions and saute until soft and golden. Add garlic and saute another 1-2 min. Spread mixture over the chicken.

  • 3)

    In a medium saucepan (or in the same pan you’ve been using), melt 3 Tbsp butter. Whisk in 3 Tbsp flour until lightly golden (1-2 min).

  • 4)

    Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp pepper, and whisk until smooth. Add 1 cup half & half and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • 5)

    Pour sauce over the chicken and mushrooms. Cover with foil and bake at 350˚F for 45 minutes. Serve warm or hot over mashed potatoes, pasta or rice.
