Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 3 cups white rice, cooked
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, and then shred into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly (about 3 minutes). Season with the remaining salt and black pepper.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, frozen mixed vegetables, shredded chicken, and cooked rice. Mix well until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and dried parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy Chicken Casserole Supreme!
