Description
A delicious chicken casserole loaded with mushrooms, ham, and a creamy Alfredo sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 very large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tsp. olive oil, divided
- 1/4 tsp. dried sage
- 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1 pound brown mushrooms, washed and thickly sliced
- 6 oz. lean ham, diced into cubes
- 1 jar (15 ounces) Rao’s Alfredo Sauce (see notes)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (not needed if you make your own sauce)
- 1/4 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese (not needed if you make your own sauce)
- 1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Spray casserole dish with nonstick spray or olive oil.
- Trim four large chicken breasts and rub with the dried herbs.
- Heat 2 tsp. of the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and barely brown the chicken, just 3-4 minutes per side. It will cook more in the casserole dish.
- Remove chicken to cutting board and let it cool. When it’s cool enough to handle, cut chicken lengthwise into thick strips and layer in the bottom of casserole dish.
- While the chicken cooks, wash mushrooms if needed, and thickly slice. Add one more teaspoon oil to the pan and cook until the mushrooms are lightly browned. Layer the mushrooms over the chicken in the casserole dish.
- Cut ham into cubes, add the last teaspoon of olive oil, and sauté the ham in the same frying pan until it’s slightly browned. Layer browned ham over the mushrooms.
- Mix sour cream and grated Parmesan with the Alfredo Sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken, mushrooms, and ham.
- Sprinkle with grated Mozzarella and Monterey Jack Cheese, or any white cheese you prefer.
- Bake about 20 minutes covered, or until the cheese is mostly melted.
- Uncover and bake about 20 minutes more, or until the top is nicely browned.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Optional: You can make your own Alfredo sauce instead of using a jar.
