Creamy Chicken, Bacon and Mushroom Casserole
Creamy Chicken, Bacon and Mushroom Casserole
This delicious chicken, bacon and mushroom casserole is perfect served over rice or fluffy mashed potato, and can be ready in under half an hour. Creamy, savoury sauce simmered on the stove top is just as quick and easy to make as the stuff that comes in jars and tastes so much better! Our children scarfed this down in minutes, they loved it!
First, heat a little oil in a big frying pan and saute some onion and garlic. Add some diced chicken breast and chopped bacon and cook for a few minutes until the chicken changes colour. Add the mushrooms and cook for another few minutes.
Add some flour and stir through the mixture. Slowly add the milk while stirring until the casserole thickens. Then add some grated cheese, chicken stock powder, salt and pepper and dried parsley. Allow to simmer gently for ten minutes and serve with rice.
Too easy!
