Chicken Raphael is made with tender thin sliced chicken breast smothered in a rich and creamy white mushroom sauce. The chicken is first seared to golden perfection, locking in its juices and adding depth of flavor. The casserole is made with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and a white sauce. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top for an added velvety texture and savory notes that complement the chicken beautifully.
The perfect casserole for any night of the week.
Ingredient Notes
- Mushrooms: I suggest using button mushroom and if you can find them in the salad bar section of the grocery store or bulk is the best way to buy them to save on cash and food waste.
- Chicken: Thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breast cooks well, which is what I used for this recipe. If you use a thickened or bone-in breast, you will need to increase the cooking time.
Recipe Notes
- Serve Chicken Raphael Casserole over rice or pasta to soak up every bit of the decadent sauce or with a side of steamed vegetables.
- The casserole is perfect to make the day before and reheat when you’re ready to enjoy a cozy dinner.
