A delightful chicken casserole with enhanced flavors and textures, perfect for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Chop the celery into small pieces and slice the mushrooms.
Uniformly sized pieces cook more evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the celery, mushrooms, white wine, cream, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well distributed.
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and pour the mixture over them.
Ensure the chicken is fully covered for even cooking.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Covering helps retain moisture and cook the chicken thoroughly.
Remove the foil, stir the mixture, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
Baking uncovered allows the top to brown slightly for added texture.
Serve warm and enjoy your savory chicken and mushroom bake.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
